Abstract

A fully-automated, facility-class, 50W diffraction-limited, single-frequency, cw 589-nm guidestar excitation source has produced radiance returns as high as 7000 photons/cm2/s. Laser design, sodium guidestar characteristics, and progress of AO implementation and performance will be presented.
