Abstract
Results from an electrically addressed liquid-crystal cell producing c ontinuous phase profiles are presented. The adaptive deflection of a b eam of light for use in a tip-tilt adaptive optics system is demonstra ted. We compare the optical performance of liquid-crystal prisms with experimental data on atmospheric seeing at the William Herschel Telesc ope.
