Modal liquid crystal devices in optical tweezing: 3D control and oscillating potential wells (2006)
Journal Article
Hands, P., Tatarkova, S., Kirby, A., & Love, G. (2006). Modal liquid crystal devices in optical tweezing: 3D control and oscillating potential wells. Optics Express, 14(10), 4525-4537. https://doi.org/10.1364/oe.14.004525

We investigate the use of liquid crystal (LC) adaptive optics elements to provide full 3 dimensional particle control in an optical tweezer. These devices are suitable for single controllable traps, and so are less versatile than many of the competin...

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...
