我们讨论的概念设计问题，1600致动器高音反射镜/多共轭AO升级到349致动器帕洛玛自适应光学系统（PALAO）。基于由Xcampus，Inc.开发的42 X 42致动器Photonex可变形反射镜技术，这一升级将使独特的科学在可见光波长，并提供前所未有的近红外斯特列尔比适度明亮（mV等于9）的指导星。当与现有的349致动器结合使用时，变形反射镜，一系列关于超大望远镜多共轭自适应校正的实际应用的紧迫问题可以得到解决。通过利用由SciMeasure Analytical Systems，Inc.开发的低噪声（EEV39）波前传感器照相机，该系统将提供> 95%的轴上K波段斯特列尔比，提高科学吞吐量，并能够在附近恒星周围前所未有的对比度空间中探测和光谱分析未分辨的伴星。
We discuss conceptual design issues for a 1600 actuator tweeter mirror/multiconjugate AO upgrade to the 349 actuator Palomar Adaptive Optics System (PALAO). Based upon a 42 X 42 actuator Photonex deformable mirror technology, developed by Xinetics, Inc., this upgrade would enable unique science at visible wavelengths and deliver unprecedented near-infrared Strehl ratios for modestly bright (mV equals 9) guide stars. When used in conjunction with the existing 349 actuator Xinetics, Inc. deformable mirror, a series of pressing issues regarding the practical utility of multiconjugate adaptive correction for extremely large telescopes could be addressed. By utilizing a low noise (EEV39) wavefront sensor camera developed by SciMeasure Analytical Systems, Inc., this system would provide on-axis K-band Strehl ratio of > 95%, improving scientific throughput and enabling the detection and spectroscopy of unresolved companions in an unprecedented contrast space around nearby stars.
