Measuring the return flux from laser guide stars

For future extremely-large telescopes (ELT), operation at or near diffraction limited resolutions will be the norm, rather than the exception. Thus, adaptive optics systems and laser guide star facilities will be a critical component of the ELTs. The UBC Large Zenith Telescope (LZT) has conducted li...
