摘要
The Gemini telescopes implement active optics and atmospheric tip-tilt-focus correction through the use of a number of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors at several locations and providing various orders of wavefront data. All are based on a common Charge Coupled Device (CCD) housing and controller. This paper provides an overview of the electronics in the CCD head and controller. The two frame-transfer CCDs that are used (80x80 and 1024x1024), are described. A parameter based multiple subaperture readout algorithm is presented. The system is capable of operating at 2000 frames per second in a 2x2 subaperture mode with 36 pixels per subaperture and a read-noise floor of approximately 4.5 erms.
