Popis: MAPS, MMT Adaptive optics exoPlanet characterization System, is the upgrade of legacy 6.5m MMT adaptive optics system. It is an NSF MSIP-funded project that includes (i) refurbishing of the MMT Adaptive Secondary Mirror (ASM), (ii) new high sensitive and high spatial order visible and near-infrared pyramid wavefront sensors, and (iii) the upgrade of Arizona Infrared Imager and Echelle Spectrograph (ARIES) and MMT high Precision Imaging Polarimeter (MMTPol) science cameras. This paper will present the design and development of the visible pyramid wavefront sensor. This system consists of an acquisition camera, a fast-steering tip-tilt modulation mirror, a double pyramid, a pupil imaging triplet lens, and a low noise and high-speed frame rate based CCID75 camera. We will report on hardware and software and present the laboratory characterization results of the individual subsystems, and outline the on-sky commissioning plan.
