Polarization-driven spin precession of mesospheric sodium atoms
Felipe Pedreros, Domenico Bonaccini Calia, Dmitry Budker +5
We report experimental results on the first on-sky observation of atomic spin precession of mesospheric sodium driven by polarization modulation of a continuous-wave laser. The mag…
Modeling of pulsed laser guide stars for the Thirty Meter Telescope project
S. M. Rochester, A. Otarola, C. Boyer +4
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) has been designed to include an adaptive optics system and associated laser guide star (LGS) facility to correct for the image distortion due to Ea…
Magnetometry with Mesospheric Sodium
J. M. Higbie, S. M. Rochester, B. Patton +3
Measurement of magnetic fields on the few-hundred-kilometer length scale is significant for a variety of geophysical applications including mapping of crustal magnetism and ocean-c…
