Welcome to the ARGOS Laser Guide Star twiki pages

This twiki collects all the informations related to the 2 ARGOS laser guide star systems.

It is written for the users and the engineers that have to operate and maintain the systems. You will find in this twiki all the informations about operating procedures, calibrations and configurations, maintenance and installation procedures. You will not find study and design documentation. You will find the commissioning diary.

There is a DX system and a SX system. Each of them is composed of:

• the LgswSystem (the wavefront sensor and dichroic)
• the LasSystem (the laser box)
• the LanSystem
• the CalUnitSystem
• the TipTiltSystem
• the VibrationSystem
• the WorkStation
