The design and performance of the Cassegrain Adaptive Optics (AO) system for the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope are reported. The system is based on a curvature wavefront sensor with 36 photon-counting avalanche photodiode modules and a bimorph wavefront correcting deformable mirror with 36 driving electrodes. The engineering first light of the AO system took place in 2000 December. The AO system has been...
