Using five independent analytic and Monte Carlo simulation codes, we have studied the performance of wide-field ground-layer adaptive optics (GLAO), which can use a single, relatively low order deformable mirror to correct the wave-front errors from...

Journal Article
Morris, T., & Myers, R. (2006). WIde-field adaptive optics correction using a single rotating laser guide star. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 370(4), 1783-1789. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2006.10588.x

The problem of providing Adaptive Optics (AO) correction over a wide field of view is one that can be alleviated by using multiple conjugate AO (MCAO), or a low-altitude Laser Guide Star (LGS) that is projected to an altitude below any high layer tur...

A Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor projected on to the sky with reduced focal anisoplanatism (2006)
Journal Article
Butterley, T., Love, G., Wilson, R., Myers, R., & Morris, T. (2006). A Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor projected on to the sky with reduced focal anisoplanatism. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 368(2), 837-843. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2006.10160.x

A method for producing a laser guide star wavefront sensor for adaptive optics with reduced focal anisoplanatism is presented. A theoretical analysis and numerical simulations have been carried out and the results are presented. The technique, named...
