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.

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...

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.
