Optical calibration and performance of the adaptive secondary mirror at the Magellan telescope

Abstract In this paper we describe the procedure for the optical calibration of large size deformable mirrors, acting as wavefront correctors for adaptive optics systems. Adaptive optics compensate the disturbance due to the atmospheric turbulence to restore the telescope resolution. We will showcas...
