Systematic design and analysis of laser-guide-star adaptive-optics systems for large telescopes

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We discuss the design of laser-guided adaptive-optics systems for the large, 8–10-m-class telescopes. Through proper choice of system components and optimized system design, the laser power that is needed at the astronomical site can be kept to a minimum.
