Modeling astronomical adaptive optics performance with temporally filtered Wiener reconstruction of slope data. [PDF]
We build on a long-standing tradition in astronomical adaptive optics (AO) of specifying performance metrics and error budgets using linear systems modeling in the spatial-frequency domain.

A Fuzzy Logic Based Algorithm for Finding Astronomical Objects in Wide-Angle Frames [PDF]
Accurate automatic identification of astronomical objects in an imperfect world of non-linear wide-angle optics, imperfect optics, inaccurately pointed telescopes, and defect-ridden cameras is not always a trivial first step.

Integrated optics for astronomical interferometry - VI. Coupling the light of the VLTI in K band [PDF]
Our objective is to prove that integrated optics (IO) is not only a good concept for astronomical interferometry but also a working technique with high performance.

Integrated Laboratory Demonstrations of Multi-Object Adaptive Optics on a Simulated 10-Meter Telescope at Visible Wavelengths [PDF]
One important frontier for astronomical adaptive optics (AO) involves methods such as Multi-Object AO and Multi-Conjugate AO that have the potential to give a significantly larger field of view than conventional AO techniques.

Real-time Experimental Demonstrations of a Photonic Lantern Wave-front Sensor
The direct imaging of an Earth-like exoplanet will require sub-nanometric wave-front control across large light-collecting apertures to reject host starlight and detect the faint planetary signal.

Pupil stabilization for SPHERE's extreme AO and high performance coronagraph system [PDF]
We propose a new concept of pupil motion sensor for astronomical adaptive optics systems and present experimental results obtained during the first laboratory validation of this concept.
