Orientation and solvatochromism of dyes in liquid crystals (2003)
Journal Article
Palsson, L., Szablewski, M., Roberts, A., Masutani, A., Love, G., Cross, G., …Yasuda, A. (2003). Orientation and solvatochromism of dyes in liquid crystals. Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 402(1), 43-53. https://doi.org/10.1080/744816685

The orientation and solvatochromism of some dye molecules in a liquid crystal have been investigated. Interactions with the host and the structure of the dye molecule affect the macroscopic alignment of dichroic dye molecules in a liquid crystal: It...

Modal liquid crystal wavefront corrector (2002)
Journal Article
Kotova, S., Kvashnin, M., Rakhmatulin, M., Zayakin, O., Guralnik, I., Klimov, N., …Toporkova, L. (2002). Modal liquid crystal wavefront corrector. Optics Express, 10(22), 1258-1272. https://doi.org/10.1364/oe.10.001258

Results are presented of the properties of a liquid crystal wavefront corrector for adaptive optics. The device is controlled using modal addressing in which case the device behaves more like a continuous facesheet deformable mirror than a segmented...

Laser beacon wave-front sensing without focal anisoplanatism (2002)
Journal Article
Buscher, D., Love, G., & Myers, R. (2002). Laser beacon wave-front sensing without focal anisoplanatism. Optics Letters, 27(3), 149-151. https://doi.org/10.1364/ol.27.000149

Wave-front sensing from artificial beacons is normally performed by formation of a focused spot in the atmosphere and sensing of the wave-front distortions produced during the beam's return passage. We propose an alternative method that senses the di... Read More about Laser beacon wave-front sensing without focal anisoplanatism.

Wavefront correction using a self-referencing phase conjugation system based on a Zernike cell (2001)
Journal Article
Dale, S., Love, G., Myers, R., & Naumov, A. (2001). Wavefront correction using a self-referencing phase conjugation system based on a Zernike cell. Optics Communications, 191(1-2), 31-38. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0030-4018%2801%2901116-6

A wavefront correction system was produced using a phase conjugating method based on a point diffraction interferometer, or Zernike cell. This has the main advantage that no separate reference beam is required. The PDI was constructed using an optica...

Dual-conjugate wavefront generation for adaptive optics (2000)
Journal Article
Kelly, T., Buscher, D., Clark, P., Dunlop, C., Love, G., Myers, R., …Zadrozny, A. (2000). Dual-conjugate wavefront generation for adaptive optics. Optics Express, 7(11), 368-374. https://doi.org/10.1364/oe.7.000368

We present results of the isoplanatic performance of an astronomical adaptive optics system in the laboratory, by using a dual layer turbulence simulator. We describe how the performance of adaptive correction degrades with off-axis angle. These expe... Read More about Dual-conjugate wavefront generation for adaptive optics.

Atmospheric optical turbulence analysis in London’s financial district
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Westerby-Griffin, L., Osborn, J., Farley, O. J. D., Griffiths, R., & Love, G. D. (2023). Atmospheric optical turbulence analysis in London’s financial district. In H. Hemmati, & B. S. Robinson (Eds.), Proceedings Volume 12413, Free-Space Laser Communications XXXV. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2648907

Atmospheric optical turbulence causes signal loses in laser propagation. Here we present vertical measurements of optical turbulence taken in London’s financial district. Additionally, we demonstrate a method of modelling atmospheric states in simula... Read More about Atmospheric optical turbulence analysis in London’s financial district.
