Abstract

It is expected that a large fraction of wave-front distortions at ELTs will be anisoplanatic, being produced jointly by near-ground and dome turbulence, wind buffeting, flexures, and vibrations. We compare various strategies for sensing this "ground" component using (i) several sodium LGSs, (ii) one or several Rayleigh LGSs and (ii) NGSs in a wide field. The experience gained so far with the RLGS GLAO system SAM at 4-m telescope will be presented and discussed.
