欧洲南方天文台与外部研究机构正在建造一个多共轭自适应光学演示器（MAD），以执行宽视场自适应光学校正。MAD的目的是在天空中展示MCAO技术的可行性，并评估在第二代VLT仪器和100米超大望远镜（OWL）的框架内建造此类仪器的所有关键方面。MAD模块将安装在Paranal的VLT单元望远镜中的一个上进行天空观测。MAD基于两个可变形反射镜校正系统和两个多参考波前传感器，能够同时观察一些预先选择的自然引导星的配置。MAD预计在K波段校正高达2弧分的视场。MAD刚刚开始整合阶段，随后将进行长时间的测试。在本文中，我们提出了MAD的最终设计，并简要报告了集成的状态。
The European Southern Observatory together with external research Institutes is building a Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Demonstrator (MAD) to perform wide field of view adaptive optics correction. The aim of MAD is to demonstrate on the sky the feasibility of the MCAO technique and to evaluate all the critical aspects in building such kind of instrument in the framework of both the 2nd generation VLT instrumentation and the 100-m Overwhelmingly Large Telescope (OWL). The MAD module will be installed at one of the VLT unit telescope in Paranal to perform on-sky observations. MAD is based on a two deformable mirrors correction system and on two multi-reference wavefront sensors capable to observe simultaneously some pre-selected configurations of Natural Guide Stars. MAD is expected to correct up to 2 arcmin field of view in K band. MAD has just started the integration phase which will be followed up by a long period of testing. In this paper we present the final design of MAD with a brief report about the status of the integration.
