Development of a Sodium Laser Guide Star for Astronomical Adaptive Optics Systems

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We describe a new laser design for a 50 W laser guide star source, suitable for large aperture telescopes employing multi conjugate adaptive optics systems. Design verification experiments will be presented showing bandwidth control and progress towards power scaling.
