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...

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.
