Abstract

SAXO+ is a second-stage adaptive optics module for the SPHERE instrument at VLT. It has been proposed to increase the achievable contrast and improve the current performance of detecting and characterizing exoplanets and disks. It is developed by the SPHERE+ consortium as part of the roadmap activity for the planet finder instrument (PCS) of the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). This paper describes the optical and mechanical design of SAXO+.
