Abstract
ABSTRACT Adaptive optics systems are an essential technology for the modern astronomy for ground-based telescopes. One of the most recent revolution in the field is the introduction of the pyramid wavefront sensor. The higher performance of this device is paid with increased complexity in the control. In this work, we report about advances in the adaptive optics (AO) system control obtained with SOUL at the Large Binocular Telescope. The first is an improved Tip/Tilt temporal control able to recover the nominal correction even in presence of high temporal frequency resonances. The second one is a modal gain optimization that has been successfully tested on sky for the first time. Pyramid wavefront sensors are the key technology for the first light AO systems of all Extremely Large Telescopes and the reported advances can be relevant contributions for such systems.
