The differential Optical Transfer Function (dOTF) is a focal plane wavefront
sensing method that uses a diversity in the pupil plane to generate two
different focal plane images. The difference of their Fourier transforms
recovers the complex amplitude of the pupil down to the spatial scale of the
diversity. We produce two simultaneous PSF images with diversity using a
polarizing filter at the edge of the telescope pupil, and a polarization camera
to simultaneously record the two images. Here we present the first on-sky
demonstration of polarization dOTF at the 1.0m South African Astronomical
Observatory telescope in Sutherland, and our attempt to validate it with
simultaneous Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor images.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, Proc. SPIE Vol. 991
