• Presently funded by a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
LAO Goals1. Develop Adaptive optics technology and methods for the next
generation of extremely large ground-based telescopes
2. Develop and build a planet finder instrument using “extreme” adaptive optics technology
Laboratory for Adaptive OpticsClaire Max, Principal InvestigatorJoseph Miller, co-InvestigatorJerry Nelson, co-InvestigatorDonald Gavel, Laboratory Director
3. Develop, test, and evaluate new components and key technologies for adaptive optics
4. Provide a laboratory where students and postdocs will be trained in adaptive optics design, modeling, and implementation
• A permanent facility within the UCO/Lick Observatory located at the UC Santa Cruz campus

• Set central actuator to Set central actuator to voltage = 0Vvoltage = 0V• Then Then ffEE = 0 = 0
• Thus Thus ffPP(w,0) = f(w,0) = fSS(w)(w)
• Actuate neighbors only Actuate neighbors only and and measure central measure central actuator displacementactuator displacement• Obtain spring force Obtain spring force

Electrostatic and spring force look-up Electrostatic and spring force look-up tables are calibrated empiricallytables are calibrated empirically
• Repeat with varying Repeat with varying voltages on the voltages on the central actuatorcentral actuator• Thus givingThus giving
ffEE(w,v) = f(w,v) = fPP(w,v) - f(w,v) - fSS(w)(w)
