The Adaptive Optics Module (AOM) of MAVIS will be the only MCAO facility at the VLT, and will allow it to exploit the capabilities of the Adaptive Optics Facility of UT4, also in the wide field regime. The post-focal instrumentation consists of an imager and an IFU spectrograph, both covering the visible band; a third...

The Large Binocular Telescope Observatory (LBTO) has pioneered major advancements in Adaptive Optics (AO) technologies, including the development of the adaptive secondary mirror (ASM), the pyramid wavefront sensor (PWFS), and ground-layer AO (GLAO) utilizing Rayleigh lasers for 8- to 10-meter class telescopes. We pres...

The next generation of ground-based optical telescopes will feature fragmented pupils, such as the six-petal geometry of the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), introducing differential piston errors between disconnected pupil regions. These phase discontinuities are challenging for conventional adaptive optics wavefront...
