“Twinkle twinkle little laser” - Konstantin Holzner
Adaptive optics, the ability to compensate for the degradation of light traveling through the atmosphere, has revolutionized astronomy. Now, guide star lasers, big lasers used to create artificial stars, are set to do the same. Konstantin holds a Ph.D. in atomic and molecular physics from the Imperial College London. He works with lasers and in the 5th Munich Science Slam, he enthused the audience showing how to produce sharp images of the space and the benefit of this technology.
