Description
Here we present the Adaptive Optics Lucky Imager (AOLI), a
state-of-the-art instrument which makes use of two well proved
techniques, Lucky Imaging (LI) and Adaptive Optics (AO), to deliver
diffraction limited imaging at visible wavelengths, 20 mas, from
ground-based telescopes. Thanks to its revolutionary TP3-WFS, AOLI shall
have the capability of using faint reference stars. In the extremely-big
telescopes era, the combination of techniques and the development of new
WFS systems seems the clue key for success. We give details of the
integration and verification phases explaining the defiance that we have
faced and the innovative and versatile solutions for each of its
subsystems that we have developed, providing also very fresh results
after its first fully-working observing run at the William Herschel
Telescope (WHT).
