Examples in Context

  1. First-order theoretical model for laser guide star adaptive optics system
  2. A short introduction was given about the principles of laser guide star ( LGS ) in adaptive optics, and the ultra-narrow band filter techniques used in the application.
  3. In the detecting system of laser illumination and laser guide star ( LGS ), the application of optical filter is an important approach to reduce background noise and improve signal-to-noise ratio ( SNR ).
  4. The beacon problem of adaptive optics ( AO ) is settled by the promotion of laser guide star ( LGS ), but the anisoplanatic error due to LGS will degrade the performance of AO system as well.
  5. Laser guide star, an artificial beacon, is one of the solutions for this issue.
