Design Considerations for Large Detector Arrays on Submillimeter-wave Telescopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The emerging technology of large (~ 10,000 pixel) submillimeter-wave bolometer arrays presents a novel optical design problem---how can such arrays be fed by diffraction-limited telescope optics where the primary mirror is less than 100,000 wavelengths ...

Quasi-static aberrations induced by laser guide stars in adaptive optics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics (LGS AO) systems use the return from an artificial guide star to measure the wavefront aberrations in the direction of the science object.

Methods of optimizing X-ray optical prescriptions for wide-field applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We are working on the development of a method for optimizing wide-field X-ray telescope mirror prescriptions, including polynomial coefficients, mirror shell relative displacements, and (assuming 4 focal plane detectors) detector placement along the ...

The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: optical design of IRIS imager with "Co-axis double TMA" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
IRIS (InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph) is one of the first-generation instruments for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). IRIS is composed of a combination of near-infrared (0.84--2.4 $\mu$m) diffraction limited imager and integral field spectrograph.

Results from the GMT Ground-Layer Experiment at the Magellan Telescopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present results from our two year study of ground-layer turbulence as seen through the 6.5-meter Magellan Telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory. The experiment consists of multiple, moderate resolution, Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors deployed over ...

The Centration Dilemma in Refractive Corrections: Why Is It Still a Dilemma and How to Cope?

open access: yesPhotonics
(1) Background: Defining the optimum center for laser refractive corrections is difficult, with many of the available approaches having pros and cons. Decentered ablations result in undesirable side effects like halos, glare, monocular diplopia, and a ...
