We performed a direct side-by-side comparison of a Shack-Hartmann wave-front sensor and a phase-shifting interferometer for the purpose of characterizing large optics. An expansion telescope of our own design allowed us to measure the surface figure

A laser system to generate sodium-layer guide stars has been designed, built and delivered to the Keck Observatory in Hawaii. The system uses frequency doubled YAG lasers to pump liquid dye lasers and produces 20 W of average power. The design and pe

We will describe an adaptive optics system developed for the 1 meter Nickel and 3 meter Shane telescopes at Lick Observatory. Observing wavelengths will be in the visible for the 1 meter telescope and in the near IR on the 3 meter. The adaptive optic

Adaptive Optics in Astronomy.
We present the design and implementation of a very compact adaptive optics system that senses the return light from a sodium guide-star and controls a deformable mirror and a pointing mirror to compensate atmospheric perturbations in the wavefront. T

We employ an alternative technique for determining the Lorentzian linewidth based upon the simultaneous measurement of the vapor transmission and group-velocity delay outside the Doppler core of an optically dense transition. We apply this technique

We are developing an adaptive optics system that is based on an array of actuators arranged with subapertures that are equilateral triangles. The wavefront sensor is a video Hartmann sensor that also uses an equilateral array of lenslets. The control

We have developed an adaptive optics system that corrects up to five waves of 2nd-order and 3M-order aberrations in a high-power laser beam to less than 1/10th wave RMS. The wavefront sensor is a Hartmann sensor with discrete lenses and position-sens

An intracavity-doubled, Q-switched, Nd:YAG laser side pumped by a pulsed, 3-bar, laser-diode array, produced a second harmonic output of 1.75 mJ/pulse at an optical conversion efficiency of 11.5%. We demonstrated the use of this laser to pump a pulse
