WIVERN is a testbed for laboratory experiments in laser-based wavefront sensing. It emulates laser uplink from a 4m telescope with 1.6 arcsec seeing and laser back-scattering from up to 20 km. Currently there are three current wavefront sensing capab... Read More about WIVERN: a laboratory experiment for testing novel laser-based wavefront sensing techniques.
