On-sky demonstration of the GMT dispersed fringe phasing sensor prototype on the Magellan Telescope

On-sky demonstration of the GMT dispersed fringe phasing sensor prototype on the Magellan Telescope

The GMT is an aplanatic Gregorian telescope consisting of 7 primary and secondary mirror segments that must be phased to within a fraction of an imaging wavelength to allow the 25.4 meter telescope to reach its diffraction limit. When operating in Laser Tomographic Adaptive Optics (LTAO) mode, on-ax...
