  10. SALSA Elements • Boresighted IR aircraft camera • All-sky aircraft cameras • Laser traffic control arbitration with local observatories • Available radar feeds from air traffic control agencies (TBD) • US Laser Clearinghouse interface (TBD) MCAO Preliminary Design Review

  11. Strehl Ratio Summary • Median Cerro Pachon seeing • Mean Strehls over 1 arc minute square field • Delivered Strehls at the detector • Bright NGS • Detailed error budgets in system modeling presentation MCAO Preliminary Design Review

  12. Performance with an Interim Laser Complement • Initial MCAO laser configuration may be reduced for reasons of schedule or cost • Growth path to the full laser system should be maintained • One possible interim laser configuration: • 60% nominal laser power, split into • 1 full power and 4 half power laser guide stars • Expends Margin • Sodium column density • Laser power and beam quality MCAO Preliminary Design Review

  13. RMS Relative Strehl Nonuniformity • 1 square arc min field, median Cerro Pachon seeing, bright NGS • CoDR results • Linear modeling • Neglect effects of diffraction, 3-d LGS, DM-to-WFS misregisration, and other implementation error sources • Initial simulation results including these effects see no significant change MCAO Preliminary Design Review

  14. Science Path Transmittance and Emissivity MCAO Preliminary Design Review

  15. System Availability • Astrometry adds extra setup time for plate scale determination • CW laser penalty is due to LGS interference with thin cirrus • Conventional LGS AO still feasible • Includes system downtime of 10% • Met with laser MTBF of 48 hours MCAO Preliminary Design Review

  16. Summary • Overall system architecture equivalent to conventional LGS AO • Significant subsystem design progress since CoDR • Delivered H-band Strehl of 0.398 • Median CP seeing, zenith, bright NGS, average for a square 1 arc min field • Useful performance for an interim laser system with 60% power • Strehl ratio reduction factors of 0.888 to 0.985 • RMS relative Strehl nonuniformity of 0.04 in H • Science path throughput of 0.80-0.85 in H band, emissivity of 0.14-0.18 in K • System availability of 62-73% with queue scheduling MCAO Preliminary Design Review
