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…
