Abstract
In layer-oriented adaptive optics, multiconjugation is performed in a much more efficient way than conventional wavefront sensing. This improved efficiency is impressive for high altitude layers and moderate for ground ones. On the other hand, high altitude layers can be covered with only a limited field of view (where one can search for natural guide stars) while for ground layers the usable field of view is limited essentially by practical reasons. We introduce the further concept of multiple field of view layer-oriented adaptive optics where a combination of sampling and covered field leads easily to sky coverages for 8 m class telescopes that nearly approach the whole sky with the usage solely of natural guide stars. The extension of the concept to much larger apertures is also discussed.
