    Laboratory results of SCAO: getting ready for the EST MCAO
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a 4.2-metre telescope that will be equipped with a multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) system to provide a high spatial resolution over a circular field of view with 60" diameter. The EST-MCAO testbed is a downscaled demonstrator of solar MCAO with similar requirements to those defined for EST. It has been

    Linear quadratic Gaussian predictive control for the Gran Telescopio Canarias AO system: design issues and first bench results
    The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) will be soon equipped with an Adaptive Optics (AO) system. The GTCAO system is currently at the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC), where tests and performance assessment are ongoing. The Institut d'Optique Graduate School-Laboratoire Charles Fabry (IOGS-LCF), through a collaboration with IAC, is exploring

    M1 Assembly for the EST: selection of the most promising baseline configuration for the preliminary design
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a 4-m class solar telescope that will be installed at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos in La Palma (Spain). Two important factors make EST different from other similar size telescopes: high thermal load due to solar radiation and open dome configuration during observation. Therefore, the entire

    Model-based optics and optomechanics for the New Robotic Telescope (NRT) design
    The NRT is an international collaboration to design and build a leading astronomical facility in the optical and near infrared ranges for the emergent area of time domain astronomy. That relies on the combination of a large collecting area (4 m diameter), quick response (<30 s), and full robotic operation. The system level analysis and trade-offs

    New Robotic Telescope optical design
    The New Robotic Telescope will be a fully autonomous, rapid reaction, primarily spectroscopic facility for the classification of astronomical transients. The 4.18m diameter primary mirror is to be composed of 18 hexagonal mirror segments, arranged with a secondary mirror that feeds the Cassegrain focal stations with an F/10.635 beam. The final

    NIRPS fiber-link design, performances and modal noise mitigation performances tested on sky
    NIRPS (Near Infra-Red Planet Searcher) is an AO-assisted and fiber-fed high-resolution spectrograph operating in the YJH-bands at the ESO 3.6m telescope in La Silla Observatory, Chile. The optimal geometrical scrambling and the minimization of the modal noise, requested to reach 1 m s−1 precision in radial velocity, is obtained by combining
