Tip/Tilt point spread function reconstruction for laser guide star multi conjugate adaptive optics
In adaptive optics systems employing laser guide stars, the tip/tilt contribution to the long exposure point spread function must be estim ted separately from the hi h-order tip/tilt removed point spread function because this component is estimated separately from a single or multiple low-order natural guide star wavefront sensors. This paper investigates this problem for laser guide star multi...
متن کاملSimulation model based approach for long exposure atmospheric point spread function reconstruction for laser guide star multiconjugate adaptive optics.
This paper discusses an innovative simulation model based approach for long exposure atmospheric point spread function (PSF) reconstruction in the context of laser guide star (LGS) multiconjugate adaptive optics (MCAO). The approach is inspired from the classical scheme developed by Véran et al. [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A14, 3057 (1997)] and Flicker et al. [Astron. Astrophys.400, 1199 (2003)] and reco...
متن کاملAngular anisoplanatism in laser guide star adaptive optics
The image quality obtained using laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS AO) is degraded by the fact that the wavefront aberrations experienced by light from the LGS and from the science object differ. In this paper we derive an analytic expression for the variance of the difference between the two wavefronts as a function of angular distance between the LGS and the science object. This error is ...
متن کاملMinimum Variance Split Tomography for Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics
Tomographic wavefront estimation using laser and natural guide stars is under development for ground-based extremely large telescopes. Typical wavefront sensing requirements include several bright mesospheric sodium laser guide stars (LGSs) supplemented by a few dim natural guide stars (NGSs) required to sense at low frame rate a small number of low-order atmospheric modes poorly measured by th...
متن کاملKeck Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics: Science Verification Results
In this paper we describe the operational strategy and performance of the Keck Observatory laser guidestar adaptive optics system, and showcase some early science verification images and results. Being the first laser guidestar system on an 8–10 m class telescope, the Keck laser guidestar adaptive optics system serves as a testbed for observing techniques and control algorithms. We highlight th...
