Amplitude Zone Plate in Adaptive Optics: Proposal of the Principle
One of the main elements in hardware-based adaptive optics systems is a deformable mirror. There is quite a large number of such mirrors based on different principles and exhibiting varying performance.

Comparison of closed loop and sensorless adaptive optics in widefield optical microscopy [PDF]
We report on a closed loop widefield adaptive optics, optical microscopy system in which the feedback signal is provided by backscattered light from the sample acting as a guide star.

Testing and characterization of challenging optics and optical systems with Shack Hartmann wavefront sensors [PDF]
The Shack-Hartman wavefront sensor is a common metrology tool in the field of laser, adaptive optics and astronomy. However, this technique is still scarcely used in optics and optical system metrology.

Sky coverage modeling for the whole sky for laser guide star multiconjugate adaptive optics [PDF]
The scientific productivity of laser guide star adaptive optics systems strongly depends on the sky coverage, which describes the probability of finding natural guide stars for the tip/tilt wavefront sensor(s) to achieve a certain performance.

ALFA: First Operational Experience of the MPE/MPIA Laser Guide Star System for Adaptive Optics [PDF]
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.
