Keck AO Overviewto support summit tour
Keck AO Summit Visit 10:30 Arrive at summit
Keck telescope summit visit: Acclimatize in lounge (10 min) K1 telescope optics (10 min) K1 AO enclosure (remove covers to look at AO bench components; demonstrate
driving components) + DSM + electronics room. (30 min) K2 dome floor laser room (20 min)
11:40 Lunch in K2 lounge 12:15 Resume tour
Break into three groups: (30 min) K2 laser room on elevation ring (only guide + 2 people at a time). PW
lead NIRC2 in K2 AO enclosure. NIRSPEC on right Nas platform.
Interferometer control room & lab (30 min) 13:20 Leave Summit

Alignment, Calibration & Diagnostics
Wyko Phase ShiftingInterferometer:- mounted under bench looking at deformable mirror- also used for alignment
Pupil Simulator: - produces Keck telescope f/# & pupil location- pupil mask in collimated beam
Source Positioner:-selects between pupilsimulator, fiber & sky- fiber has 3 axes
Single mode fibers
