Dynamics and stability of solitons in two-dimensional (2D) Bose-Einstein condensates
(BEC), with one-dimensional (1D) conservative plus dissipative nonlinear optical lattices …

An experimental optical bench test-bed for developing new wavefront sensing concepts for
Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) systems is described. The main objective is to …

In a basic physical model where two-dimensional (2D) matter-wave solitons may be stable,
namely, the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with the self-attractive nonlinearity and quasi-one …

Atmospheric turbulence corrupts astronomical images formed by ground-based telescopes.
Adaptive optics systems allow the effects of turbulence-induced aberrations to be reduced …

Retinal imaging is limited due to optical aberrations caused by imperfections in the optical
media of the eye. Consequently, diffraction limited retinal imaging can be achieved if optical …

The adaptive optics for any telescope in the 25-to 100-m class will be complex. It is believed
that adaptive optics should, to the maximum extent, be designed as an integrated part of a …

In this article we present a downscaled laboratory setup emulating five natural guide stars, a
layered static atmosphere and a 7.5-m aperture telescope equipped with dual-conjugate …

It is shown how first-order performance estimation of high-order adaptive optics (AO)
systems may be efficiently implemented in a hybrid numerical simulation by the use of 1) …

The optical design for the proposed Euro50 extremely large telescope with integrated
adaptive optics (AO) is presented. For atmospheric turbulence correction, we propose using …

We present recent results of the atmospheric turbulence measured with a Generalized
SCIDAR at Mt. Graham, running for 16 nights in 2004 and 2005 at the focus of the VATT …
