Abstract:
High-precision piston detection over a large range is the key to the phasing of segmented optical systems. In this paper, a large-range piston error detection method based on an artificial neural network is proposed. By establishing a compound attention mechanism and introducing a multilayer perceptron convolution layer, the network can quickly and accurately learn the key features of high-throughput light-intensity images of dispersed fringe patterns and narrowband far-field spot patterns during training, thereby accurately mapping grayscale images to multi-piston error values. The test results in the simulation show that the method is simple and fast, substantially improving the piston error detection efficiency and sensing range, with the ability for highly sensitive fine phase correction under closed-loop conditions. This technique has a wide range of potential applications in simplifying wavefront sensing and modulation of large segmented telescopes.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
