Abstract
The laser guide star concept was proposed for the application of adaptive optics in astronomy in order to overcome the problem of natural star requisite brightness which significantly limits the sky coverage [1, 2]. Recently, the adaptive optics compensation of turbulent wavefront using laser guide star has been demonstrated [3,4].
