Advancements in Adaptive Optics.
Three sets of sky tests have been conducted at the Starfire Optical Range with a continuous-wave, single-frequency, 20-W laser in preparation for a 50-W facility-class laser. Brightness measurements were made of the sodium guidestar produced with and

We report on the development of a 50-W, continuous-wave, sodium wavelength guidestar excitation source for installation on the azimuth gimbal structure of the 3.5-m telescope at the Starfire Optical Range. The laser is an all solid-state design emplo

Progress on active tracking at the Starfire Optical Range (SOR) has been significant in the years 2003-2004. We have obtained laser returns from a number of retro-reflector and also unaugmented satellite objects, and compared the signal returns to th

Early in the development of adaptive optics technology, the goal was to obtain good instantaneous results, i.e., well-compensated short-exposure images. The next goal was expressed in terms of average results, for example, acquiring good long-exposur
