2006 The Research of Software Simulation Based on Pyramid Wavefront Sensor Applied to Astronomical Optical Aperture Synthesis Telescope Chen Xinyang Shanghai Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai 200030 China Abstract: Wavefront sensing is a crucial part of adaptive optics technology. The pyramid sensor (PS) has the advantage of higher sensibility than other classical wavefront sensors. PS can detect the wavefront aberration of single aperture, as well as the differential piston between sub-apertures of interferometer. On the basis of analyzing pyramid sensor principle, a software simulation design about wavefront tip-tilt sensing of single-aperture telescope and differential piston sensing of 4-aperture interferometer are discussed respectively. Finally, some results and conclusions are summarized. Keywords: Aperture Synthesis; Wavefront Sensing; Pyramid; Software Simulation
