Modelling complex phenomena in optical fibres (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Allington-Smith, J., Murray, G., & Lemke, U. (2012, December). Modelling complex phenomena in optical fibres. Presented at Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy IV, Amsterdam

We present a new model for predicting the performance of fibre systems in the multimode limit. This is based on ray-­‐tracing but includes a semi-­‐empirical description of Focal Ratio Degradation (FRD). We show how FRD is simulated by the model. Wit...

Adaptive optical methods for in vivo imaging in developing Zebra fish (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Girkin, J., Taylor, J., Bourgenot, C., Saunter, C., & Love, G. (2012, December). Adaptive optical methods for in vivo imaging in developing Zebra fish. Presented at 2012 International Symposium on Optomechatronic Technologies (ISOT 2012), Paris

The humble Zebra fish is rapidly establishing itself as the model of choice for a wide range of biological investigations, in particular at the developing embryo stage. Single Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) has already been shown to be a very p... Read More about Adaptive optical methods for in vivo imaging in developing Zebra fish.

Atmospheric turbulence profiling using multiple laser star wavefront sensors (2012)
Journal Article
Cortés, A., Neichel, B., Guesalaga, A., Osborn, J., Rigaut, F., & Guzman, D. (2012). Atmospheric turbulence profiling using multiple laser star wavefront sensors. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 427(3), 2089-2099. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.22076.x

This paper describes the data pre-processing and reduction methods together with SLOpe Detection And Ranging (SLODAR) analysis and wind profiling techniques for the Gemini South Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics System (GeMS). The wavefront gradient me... Read More about Atmospheric turbulence profiling using multiple laser star wavefront sensors.
