Yayın The design of an adaptive optics telescope: the case of DAG(SPIE, 2016-07-27) Jolissaint, Laurent; Keskin, Onur; Zago, Lorenzo; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Mudry, Emeric; Lousberg, Grégory P.In this paper, we describe in detail the optical design of DAG, a new 4 m telescope for Turkey. DAG is an "adaptive optics friendly" telescope, in a sense that each design decision is taken considering the potential impact on the AO performance (vibrations, static aberrations etc.) The objective is to make this telescope fully ready for AO at first light. It is designed as a Ritchey-Chretien combination, 56 m focal length, with Nasmyth foci only, and active optics. Its total RMS error is expected to be 45 nm up to Zernike mode 78, and 26 nm for the higher, non AO corrected modes. A final design optimization has been done by the telescope manufacturers, demonstrating that our AO-based requirements can be satisfied, without much difficulty.Yayın TROIA adaptive optics system for DAG Telescope(SPIE, 2020-12-13) Keskin, Onur; Jolissaint, Laurent; Bouxin, Audrey; Yeşilyaprak, CahitThis paper presents the specifications of TROIA-TuRkish adaptive Optics system for Infrared Astronomy system, the science rationale for these specifications, and description of the site technical and environmental conditions to be taken into account in the adaptive optics (AO) system design for the Eastern Anatolia Observatory-DAG telescope. With it's 468 actuators, EMCCD camera, and the pyramid wavefront sensor configuration; TROIA is able to adapt the degree of correction to a given guide star (GS) brightness during observations. The high actuator density of TROIA AO system will allow DAG to perform astronomical observations at ExAO performances.Yayın Design of the near infrared camera DIRAC for East Anatolia Observatory(SPIE, 2022) Zhelem, Ross; Content, Robert; Churilov, Vladimir; Kripak, Yevgen; Waller, Lew; Case, Scott; Mali, Slavko; Muller, Rolf; Gonzalez, Mario; Adams, Dave; Binos, Nick; Chin, Timothy; Farrell, Tony; Klauser, Urs; Kondrat, Yuriy; Kunwar, Nirmala; Lawrence, Jon; Lorente, Nuria; Luo, Summer; McDonald, Erica; McGregor, Helen; Nichani, Vijay; Pai, Naveen; Vuong, Minh; Zahoor, Jahanzeb; Zheng, Jessica; Norris, Barnaby; Bryant, Julia; Vaccarella, Annino; Herrald, Nick; Gilbert, James; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Güçsav, Bülent; Coker, Deniz; Keskin, Onur; Jolissaint, LaurentThe 4m DAG telescope is under construction at East Anatolia Observatory in Turkey. DIRAC, the " DAG InfraRed Adaptive optics Camera", is one of the facility instruments. This paper describes the design of the camera to meet the performance specifications. Adaptive and auxiliary optics relay the telescope F/14 input 1:1 into DIRAC. The camera has an all refractive design for the wavelength range 0.9 - 2.4 micron. Lenses reimage the telescope focal plane 33 x 33 as (9 x 9 mm) on a 1k x 1k focal plane array. With magnification of 2x, the plate scale on the detector is 33 mas/pixel. There are 4 standard filters (Y, J, H, K) and 4 narrowband continuum filters. A 12 position filter wheel allows installation of 2 extra customer filters for specific needs; the filter wheel also deploys a pupil viewer lens. Optical tolerancing is carried out to deliver the required image quality at polychromatic Strehl ratio of 90% with focus compensator. This reveals some challenges in the precision assembly of optics for cryogenic environments. We require cells capable of maintaining precision alignment and keeping lenses stress free. The goal is achieved by a combination of flexures with special bonding epoxy matching closely the CTE of the lens cells and crystalline materials. The camera design is very compact with object to image distance <220 mm and lens diameters <25 mm. A standalone cryostat is LN2 cooled for vibration free operation with the bench mounted adaptive optics module (TROIA) and coronagraph (PLACID) at the Nasmyth focus of the DAG telescope.Yayın A flexible adaptive optics concept for general purpose high angular resolution science on the DAG 4m telescope(SPIE-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2018) Jolissaint, Laurent; Bouxin, Audrey; Gökay, Ulaş Sabahattin; Keskin, Onur; Rigaut, Francois; Yeşilyaprak, CahitThanks to the availability of high actuator density deformable mirrors (ALPAO 468 DM), the high versatility of the pyramid wavefront sensor and above all, the venue of essentially no noise EMCCD detectors, it becomes possible to fully adapt the degree of correction of an adaptive optics system for a given guide star brightness and atmospheric condition. Indeed, when the conditions are very good, the high actuator density of the DM allows to reach a high Strehl by using all the modes, and when the conditions are less favorable, the spatial sampling, i. the number of modes, and the sensitivity of the detector allows to maximize the Strehl beyond what would be possible with a classical, frozen SH-WFS based system. Beside, oversampling the detector allows to relax the specification on the pupil images given by the pyramid on the detector, which in turn relaxes the pyramid prism manufacturing specifications. We are now designing an AO system for the DAG 4 m telescope that will allow, on the same system, ExAO as well as low order improved seeing observations. This article reports on the AO performance analysis, the final optical design and the design of the double prism achromatic pyramid.Yayın Eastern Anatolia Observatory (DAG): the status in 2022, towards the first light(SPIE, 2022) Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, Onur; Jolissaint, LaurentEast Anatolian Observatory's DAG telescope, with its 4m diameter primary mirror and VIS/IR observation capability, Eastern Anatolian Observatory's 4m diameter class DAG telescope, with VIS/IR observation capability, will be located on the Konakll-Karaya summit at an altitude of 3170 m, near the city of Erzurum, Turkey. DAG contains both active optics (aO) and adaptive optics (AO) systems. With the enclosure assembly nearly done, and the dummy mirror integration including the M1 cell integration performed at the end of 2021; DAG telescope's AIV is planned to take place by the end of May/2022 and the Provisional Acceptance by November/2022. DAG is equipped with an in-flange derotator-KORAY (K-mirror Optical RelAY) that will direct the light to the seeing limited Nasmyth platform containing TROIA (TuRkish adaptive Optics system for Infrared Astronomy). The scientific instruments that DAG will receive in 2022, are but not limited to, a stellar coronagraph and a 30"NIR diffraction limited camera. In his paper, a global status update and expected optical performance characteristics will be presented.Yayın Optical design of the adaptive optics system for DAG, the new 4 m Turkish telescope(SPIE, 2020) Bouxin, Audrey; Jolissaint, Laurent; Keskin, Onur; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Spanò, PaoloWe present the design of the Adaptive Optics System for the new Turkish 4-m telescope (DAG). The AO will use a pyramid WFS, with a double prism and a no noise EM-CCD camera to allow for oversampling of the pupil images and a relaxation of the prism manufacturing tolerances. In order to use the high modal resolution of the P-WFS allowed by the adjustment of the modulation angle, we implement a high order deformable mirror with 468 actuators, which will permit to use the system in extreme AO correction mode. The P-WFS optical design has been largely inspired by NFIRAOS truth WFS. The number of optical surfaces has been reduced to the bare minimum. An atmospheric dispersion compensator is introduced around the tip-tilt modulation mirror. In this proceeding, we present the detail of the optical design steps for all the components of the system.
