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 adaptive optics system is the keystone for attaining high image quality in an extremely large segmented-aperture telescope like the Giant Magellan Telescope. We report on the progress in the development of wavefront sensors and control algorithms for the two diffraction-limited AO observation modes on the Giant Mag...
