A story of errors and bias: The optimization of the LGS WFS for HARMONI

Résumé

Laser Guide Star [LGS] wave-front sensing is a key element of the Laser Tomographic AO system and mainly drives the final performance of any ground based high resolution instrument. In that framework, HARMONI the first light spectro-imager of the ELT [1,2], will use 6 Laser focused around 90km(@Zenith) with a circular geometry in order to sense, reconstruct and correct for the turbulence volume located above the telescope. LGS wave-front sensing suffers from several well-known limitations [3] which are exacerbated by the giant size of the Extremely Large Telescopes. In that context, the presentation is threefold: (1) we will describe, quantify and analyse the various effects (bias and noise) induced by the LGS WFS in the context of ELT. Among other points, we will focus on the spurious low order signal generated by the spatially and temporally variable sodium layer. (2) we will propose a global design trade-off for the LGS WFS and Tomographic reconstruction process in the HARMONI context. We will show that, under strong technical constraints (especially concerning the detectors characteristics), a mix of opto-mechanic and numerical optimisations will allow to get rid of WFS bias induce by spot elongation without degrading the ultimate system performance (3) beyond HARMONI baseline, we will briefly present alternative strategies (from components, concepts and algorithms point of view) that could solve the LGS spot elongation issues at lower costs and better robustness.
