Adaptive Optics: Guide Stars

Scientific paper

The authors report results that were obtained with two generations (Generation I and Generation II) of a laser-guide-star adaptive-optics system that is capable of continuous compensation at 65-Hz (Generation I) and 130-Hz (Generation II) closed-loop bandwidths on a 1.5-m telescope. Using the laser guide star, the authors achieved a FWHM image resolution of 0.13 arcsec and a Strehl ratio of 0.48. Using a natural guide star, they# achieved a Strehl ratio of 0.64 at 0.13 arcsec FWHM resolution. The authors also obtained compensated images of the Trapezium region in Orion in H-α light, using only the laser guide star.
