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 ...

Detection of phase singularities with a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor

open access: yes, 2006
While adaptive optical systems are able to remove moderate wavefront distortions in scintillated optical beams, phase singularities that appear in strongly scintillated beams can severely degrade the performance of such an adaptive optical system ...

Compressive Wavefront Sensing with Weak Values [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We demonstrate a wavefront sensor based on the compressive sensing, single-pixel camera. Using a high-resolution spatial light modulator (SLM) as a variable waveplate, we weakly couple an optical field's transverse-position and polarization degrees of ...

Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Simulator for the Thirty Meter Telescope: Design, Implementation, and Results

open access: yes, 2018
We present a multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) system simulator bench, HeNOS (Herzberg NFIRAOS Optical Simulator). HeNOS is developed to validate the performance of the MCAO system for the Thirty Meter Telescope, as well as to demonstrate techniques

Ground-layer wavefront reconstruction from multiple natural guide stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Observational tests of ground layer wavefront recovery have been made in open loop using a constellation of four natural guide stars at the 1.55 m Kuiper telescope in Arizona.

Accuracy of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor using a coherent wound fibre image bundle

open access: yes, 2018
Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors using wound fibre bundles are desired for multi-object adaptive optical systems to provide large multiplex positioned by Starbugs.

Measuring Ocular Aberrations Sequentially Using a Digital Micromirror Device

open access: yesMicromachines, 2019
The Hartmann⁻Shack wavefront sensor is widely used to measure aberrations in both astronomy and ophthalmology. Yet, the dynamic range of the sensor is limited by cross-talk between adjacent lenslets.

Real-time turbulence profiling with a pair of laser guide star Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensors for wide-field adaptive optics systems on large to extremely large telescopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Real-time turbulence profiling is necessary to tune tomographic wavefront reconstruction algorithms for wide-field adaptive optics (AO) systems on large to extremely large telescopes, and to perform a variety of image post-processing tasks involving ...

Natural Convection of MHD Double Diffusive Nanoencapsulated Phase Change Material (NEPCM) in the Annulus Between Concentric Horizontal Circular and Square Cylinders

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The investigation focuses on the natural convection of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) double‐diffusive nanoencapsulated phase change material (NEPCM) in an annulus composed of square and concentric horizontal circular cylinders. The right, upper, and bottom walls of the outer square cylinder are cooled, while the inner circular cylinder is heated. The NEPCM
