The ingot wavefront sensor (I-WFS) has been proposed, for ELT-like apertures, as a possible pupil plane WFS, to cope with the geometrical characteristics of a laser guide star (LGS). Within the study and development of such a WFS, on-going in the framework of the MAORY project, the final purpose of the I-WFS simulation is to estimate its performance in terms of wavefront aberration measurement capability. The first step of this analysis is to translate incoming wavefronts into the three pupil images, produced by the optical system. The intrinsic geometrical characteristics of the ingot optical element, designed to be coupled with the LGS elongated image, make the system conceptually different with respect to other pupil WFSs (like the Pyramid WFS, P-WFS) also in terms of the simulation technique to be selected, within the ones which can be found in literature. In this paper, we aim to report the considerations and derivations which led to the selection of a ray-tracing method for ingot pupil images simulation, and the geometrical assumptions and approach made to optimize the computing time.

The Ingot wavefront sensor is a novel pupil-plane wavefront sensor, specifically designed to cope with the elongation typical of the extended nature of the Laser Guide Star (LGS). In the framework of the ELT, we propose an optical solution suitable f
or a Laser launch telescope, located outside the telescope pupil. In this paper, we present the current optical design, based on a reflective roof-shaped prism, which, at the level of the focal plane, splits the light from an LGS producing three beams. The three images of the telescope pupils can be then used for the retrieval of the first derivative of the wavefront. The 3D nature of such a device requires new alignment techniques to be determined theoretically and verified in the real world. A possible fully automated procedure, relying solely on the illumination observed at the three pupils, to align the prism to the image of the LGS is discussed. Careful attention needs to be put both on the telecentricity of the system and on the reference systems of the Ingot adjustments in the 3D space. This is crucial in order to disentangle all the possible misalignment effects. In this context, we devised a test-bench able to reproduce, in a scaled manner, the 3D illumination that the Ingot will face at the ELT, in order to validate the design and to perform preliminary tests of phase retrieval.
We revisit one class of z-invariant WaveFront sensor where the LGS is fired aside of the telescope aperture. In this way there is a spatial dependence on the focal plane with respect to the height where the resonant scattering occurs. We revise the b
asic parameters involving the geometry and we propose various merit functions to define how much improvement can be attained by a z-invariant approach. We show that refractive approaches are not viable and we discuss several solutions involving reflective ones in what has been nicknamed ingot wavefront sensor discussing the degrees of freedom required to keep tracking and the basic recipe for the optical design.
The basic outline of a pupil plane WaveFront Sensor is reviewed taking into account that the source to be sensed could be different from an unresolved source, i.e. it is extended, and that it could deploy also in a 3D fashion, enough to exceed the fi
elds depth of the observing telescope. Under these conditions it is pointed out that the features of the reference are not invariant for different position on the pupil and it is shown that the INGOT WFS is the equivalent of the Pyramid for a Laser Guide Star. Under these conditions one can imagine to use a Dark WFS approach to improve the SNR of such a WFS, or to use a corrected upward beam in order to achieve a better use of the LGS photons with respect to an ideal Shack-Hartmann WFS.
Adaptive optics systems correct atmospheric turbulence in real time. Most adaptive optics systems used routinely correct in the near infrared, at wavelengths greater than 1 micron. MagAO- X is a new extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) instrument that will
offer corrections at visible-to- near-IR wavelengths. MagAO-X will achieve Strehl ratios greater than 70% at H-alpha when running the 2040 actuator deformable mirror at 3.6 kHz. A visible pyramid wavefront sensor (PWFS) optimized for sensing at 600-1000 nm wavelengths will provide the high-order wavefront sensing on MagAO- X. We present the optical design and predicted performance of the MagAO-X pyramid wavefront sensor.
Adaptive optics (AO) is critical in astronomy, optical communications and remote sensing to deal with the rapid blurring caused by the Earths turbulent atmosphere. But current AO systems are limited by their wavefront sensors, which need to be in an
optical plane non-common to the science image and are insensitive to certain wavefront-error modes. Here we present a wavefront sensor based on a photonic lantern fibre-mode-converter and deep learning, which can be placed at the same focal plane as the science image, and is optimal for single-mode fibre injection. By measuring the intensities of an array of single-mode outputs, both phase and amplitude information on the incident wavefront can be reconstructed. We demonstrate the concept with simulations and an experimental realisation wherein Zernike wavefront errors are recovered from focal-plane measurements to a precision of $5.1times10^{-3};pi$ radians root-mean-squared-error.
