Abstract

Here we describe the architecture of a compact adaptive optics system that is designed specifically to couple light into a single-mode optical fiber. The dramatic reduction in size of this instrument is afforded by the reduction in pupil size by MEMs deformable mirrors. Or system also enables fast tip/tilt control as well as atmospheric dispersion correction – necessary for extended sky coverage. The heritage and architecture of this instrument will be described. We will also cover performance modeling, and status of the hardware and software build. We will describe our plans to couple AO systems with spectrometers to enable dramatically increased stability with implications for extreme precision radial velocity needed for the detection of exoEarths.
