Paper Abstract
The GMT laser tomography adaptive optics (LTAO) system design has a truth sensor guiding on a natural
guide star. The truth sensor is used to measure telescope segment piston errors and measure slowly varying non-
common path aberrations. The challenge lies in measuring segment piston using faint natural guide stars and
the wavefront delivered by the LTAO system. This requires a sensor that can make a direct phase measurement.
It is demonstrated that an infrared, AO-corrected, unmodulated pyramid or roof wavefront sensor can make the
required measurements at 10 Hz for stars brighter than magnitude 17 at H- or K-band.
