A method to detect the atmospheric turbulent layers using a single Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor is discussed. In order to determine the height distribution of the atmospheric turbulence above a telescope, we register the wavefront distortions at ...

Comparative analysis of three mode-selection methods for solid-state lasers [PDF]
In the Nd3+:YAG pulsed Q-switched laser system, the selective output of several low order modes of TEM00, TEM01 and TEM11 is realized by adding a iris diaphragm, a telescope or a Gaussian mirror at an appropriate position in the resonator, and the three ...

Building a CCD Spectrograph for Educational or Amateur Astronomy [PDF]
We discuss the design of an inexpensive, high-throughput CCD spectrograph for a small telescope. By using optical fibers to carry the light from the telescope focus to a table-top spectrograph, one can minimize the weight carried by the telescope and ...

Science case for the Einstein telescope [PDF]
The Einstein Telescope (ET), a proposed European ground-based gravitational-wave detector of third-generation, is an evolution of second-generation detectors such as Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo, and KAGRA which could be operating in the mid 2030s.

Freeform Wide Field-of-View Spaceborne Imaging Telescope: From Design to Demonstrator
Wide field-of-view imaging optics offer a huge potential for space-based Earth observation enabling the capture of global data. Reflective imaging telescopes are often favored, as they do not show chromatic aberrations and are less susceptible to ...

Hexapod Design For All-Sky Sidereal Tracking [PDF]
In this paper we describe a hexapod-based telescope mount system intended to provide sidereal tracking for the Fly's Eye Camera project -- an upcoming moderate, 21"/pixel resolution all-sky survey. By exploiting such a kind of meter-sized telescope mount,

Black holes with scalar hair in light of the Event Horizon Telescope [PDF]
Searching for violations of the no-hair theorem (NHT) is a powerful way to test gravity, and more generally fundamental physics, particularly with regards to the existence of additional scalar fields.

Active optics: deformable mirrors with a minimum number of actuators [PDF]
We present two concepts of deformable mirror to compensate for first order optical aberrations. Deformation systems are designed using both elasticity theory and Finite Element Analysis in order to minimize the number of actuators.
