Laser Guide Stars: Adaptive Optics

Scientific paper

Adaptive optical systems should satisfy some technical requirements when they are being applied to astronomical observation. One of the key issues is an enough intensity of beacon required to sample the wavefront distortions in a small isoplanatic angle for an adaptive optial system. The laser guide star, an artificial beacon, is one of the solutions for the issue. Especially for astronomical observation of a faint object, the wavefront sensor can not sample its light. In this case the laser guide stars are very important. According to the latest progress the laser guide star technique is introduced. A brief introduction for the proposed possible techniques to determine the tilt of laser guide stars is also given.
