Difference between Laser guide star and Sodium

Laser guide star vs. Sodium

A laser guide star is an artificial star image created for use in astronomical adaptive optics systems, which are employed in large telescopes in order to correct atmospheric distortion of light (called astronomical seeing). Sodium is a chemical element with symbol Na (from Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.

Similarities between Laser guide star and Sodium

Laser guide star and Sodium have 2 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adaptive optics, Sodium-vapor lamp.

Adaptive optics

Adaptive optics (AO) is a technology used to improve the performance of optical systems by reducing the effect of incoming wavefront distortions by deforming a mirror in order to compensate for the distortion.
