Scientific paper

An artificial reference source must be provided in order to operate adaptive-optics devices in the visible range; this artificial source could be the backscattered light from a laser beam emitted out through the telescope aperture. The ATLAS experiment has undertaken a proof of this concept, using the 300-mJ doubled Nd:YAG laser of the CERGA Lunar Laser Ranging Station in conjunction with specially-developed Shack-Hartmann sensors to compare the wavefronts restored from near-simultaneous observations of an actual bright star and of a laser spot.
