Strehl Ratio estimation
SR from H band images
High Strehl PSF ->fitting with Zernike modes
We suppose:
No relevant loss of energy due to high modes (Z>36)
Amoeba fit with
First 36 Zernikes
Generation
of DL PSF and SR meas as:
Peak fitted / Peak DL
NO DEPENDENCE on
FLUX estimation

SR from H band images
Low Strehl PSF: fitting with two gaussian ditributions
Halo energy >> rings energy
Point = meas
Line = fit
Line = residual
Fit with 2 gaussians

Relativ error on SR
Total flux estimation
flux_im
= (Meas image – fitted bias)
Flux_im thresholded to 0
flux
= total(flux_im)
Line = DL

• The optical gain of the pyramid WFS depends on the size of the PSF.
• Since the reconstructor, R, is usually calibrated with a diffraction-limited
source, the residual WF will be systematically under-estimated through the
vector
m res  Rs
Since the gain (1/R) with high peak PSF is higher, when slopes
resulting from low peak PSF are used with this lower value of R,
the mirror surface error is under-estimated.
Estimation from real-time data
There is another reason that this method underestimates the WF error. The
