L’ELT (Extremely Large Telescope), est un télescope de diamètre 39 m en cours de réalisation par l’Observatoire Européen Austral (ESO). Pour pouvoir tirer pleinement parti de sa taille, ses instruments seront équipés de systèmes d’Optique Adaptative (OA) qui compenseront la turbulence atmosphérique. Ces systèmes d’OA requièrent l’utilisation d’étoiles guides laser afin de maximiser la couverture du ciel. Les étoiles guides laser sont générées par laser accordé sur une résonance d’atome de sodium présents dans une couche d’une épaisseur de 10 km et située à environ 90 km d’altitude. Une étoile laser est donc un cylindre lumineux dans la haute atmosphère, allumé par la relaxation des atomes. L’analyse de front d’onde à l’aide de ces étoiles a...
