ALFA: First Operational Experience of the MPE/MPIA Laser Guide Star System for Adaptive Optics [PDF]
, 1998 The sodium laser guide star adaptive optics system ALFA has been constructed at the Calar Alto 3.5-m telescope. Following the first detection of the laser beacon on the wavefront sensor in 1997 the system is now being optimized for best performance.

Centroid-Predicted Deep Neural Network in Shack-Hartmann Sensors
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2022 The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor produces incorrect wavefront measurements when some sub-spots are weak and missing. In this paper, a method is proposed to predict the centroids of these sub-spots for the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor based on the ...

Robust control of a bimorph mirror for adaptive optics system [PDF]
, 2008 We apply robust control technics to an adaptive optics system including a dynamic model of the deformable mirror. The dynamic model of the mirror is a modification of the usual plate equation. We propose also a state-space approach to model the turbulent
