We describe the calibration and performance of a pyramid wavefront sensor designed for use in a retinal imaging camera. The effect of the image modulation and the sensor binning on the measurements are explained in detail and various tests to validat

The use of additional adaptive optics to manipulate the beacon in an adaptive optics system for the human eye opens up many opportunities. Possibilities include better beacon creation, correction of gross aberrations that the beam acquires as it pass

We present the results of contemporaneous seeing measurements using a multi-object Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor, SCIDAR optical turbulence profiling, and a DIMM seeing monitor at the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma. The data are used to det

We present the results of a mesospheric sodium monitoring programme at La Palma carried out through five campaigns of one week each, from 1999 September to 2000 August. The yearly averaged parameters of the layer (the sodium column density and the wi

We have analysed short-exposure high-resolution images obtained on the William HerschelTelescope (WHT), Big Telescope Azimuthal (BTA) and Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope(CFHT) in order to investigate mechanical vibrations that are capable of reduc

Laser guide star adaptive optics will be implemented at all major observatories in the next decade. In this paper, we describe an experiment to monitor the short and long timescale variations of the altitude profile of mesospheric sodium. This experi

We report the results of the first laser beacon experiment at the astronomical site of La Palma (Canary Islands). A continuous wave low power laser (a few hundreds of mW) system has been set up. The laser, tuned on the sodium D2 line at 589 nm, is la

Despite the rapid growth of near-field optical microscopy in the past decade, many questions about the imaging properties of near-field microscopes remain unanswered. In this paper we describe a novel near-field optical microscope, employing CO2 lase

The measurement of the strength and veloc- ity of atmospheric optical turbulence using a generalised SCIDAR technique is outlined and demonstrated. This method allows the full turbulent prole to be characterised from the telescope pupil up to any des

We discuss a real-time coherence gated three-dimensional (3-D) imaging system, based on photorefractive holography with ultrashort pulses, which has been applied to imaging through turbid media with a view to developing biomedical instrumentation. Su
