Abstract

A prototype adaptive optics system has been developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) for use on the 3-m Shane telescope at Lick Observatory. This system is currently based on a 127-actuator continuous-surface deformable mirror developed at LLNL, a high-quantum-efficiency low-noise fast CCD camera built for LLNL by Adaptive Optics Associates using a chip developed by Lincoln Laboratory, and a Mercury VME board containing four Intel i860 processors.
