For the next generation of extremely large telescopes with the primary mirrors over 30 m in diameter, focal anisoplanatism renders single laser guide star AO useless. The laser tomography AO (LTAO) technique demonstrates an effective approach to reduce focal anisoplanatism, although it …

We present the outcomes of an evaluation of middleware technologies for adaptive optics real-time control against the requirements of the Green Flash project, which are derived from the most demanding requirements of proposed first generation E-ELT instruments. The technology down-selection process applied …
