Frequency chirped continuous-wave sodium laser guide stars
F. Pedreros Bustos, R. Holzlöhner, S. Rochester +3
We numerically study a method to increase the photon return flux of continuous-wave laser guide stars using one-dimensional atomic cooling principles. The method relies on chirping…

Raman-scattered laser guide star photons to monitor the scatter of astronomical telescope mirrors
F. P. A. Vogt, J. L. Álvarez, D. Bonaccini Calia +26
The first observations of laser guide star photons Raman-scattered by air molecules above the Very Large Telescope (VLT) were reported in June 2017. The initial detection came from…

Remote sensing of geomagnetic fields and atomic collisions in the mesosphere
Felipe Pedreros Bustos, Domenico Bonaccini Calia, Dmitry Budker +5
Magnetic-field sensing has contributed to the formulation of the plate-tectonics theory, the discovery and mapping of underground structures on Earth, and the study of magnetism in…
