Title:
Focal plane wavefront sensing and control for the GPI CAL 2.0
Agreement Value:
$191,593.26
Agreement Date:
Mar 1, 2022 - Feb 28, 2025
Description:
The Cornell team will collaborate with the NRC in leading additional focalplane wavefront sensing and control development for the CAL 2.0 project, focusing specifically on adapting existing Speckle Nulling/Electric Field Conjugation codes to work with both the new CAL 2.0 SAPHIRA detector as well as the updated GPI 2.0 software stack. This work will involve drafting of interface control and functional design documentation, and an initial and final software implementation cycle. Once software implementation is complete, we will demonstrate and evaluate its operation on the as-built CAL 2.0 hardware.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
