METHODS<br />

(1993) power thresholds for 532 nm <strong>and</strong> 785 nm were 6.9 w <strong>and</strong> 7.6 m respectively.<br />

We used at least three ND4 neutral density filters to attenuate the power down to<br />

4.1w <strong>and</strong> 6.8 w, <strong>and</strong> more filters were added when possible/necessary. Exposure<br />

times (about 1.5 seconds for a typical run with 37 samples) are controlled by an<br />

electronic shutter (Vincent Associates, Rochester NY, USA).<br />

Fig. 2. 20. Schematic diagram of the LRT2 setup described in the text. L1 <strong>and</strong> L2 are<br />

100-mm focal length lenses, <strong>and</strong> L3 <strong>and</strong> L4 are 50.8-mm focal length lenses, M1,<br />

M2, <strong>and</strong> M3 are plane mirrors, HM is a hot mirror, CBS1 <strong>and</strong> CBS2 are cube beam<br />

splitters, PBS is a pellicle beam splitter, F1 <strong>and</strong> F2 are interferometric filters for 785<br />

<strong>and</strong> 532 nm, respectively, <strong>and</strong> P <strong>and</strong> R are planes conjugate to the pupil <strong>and</strong> the<br />

retina, respectively.<br />

The XY scanner (mod.6210, Cambridge technologies, Lexington, USA), consists of<br />

two rotating mirrors that deflect the incoming unexp<strong>and</strong>ed laser pencil in such a way<br />

that in combination with collimating lens L3 (f’=50.8 mm) compose the sequential<br />

sampling pattern. Due to the distance between the two mirrors (~5 mm), some<br />

astigmatism is induced in the system (Navarro <strong>and</strong> Moreno-Barriuso, 1999), <strong>and</strong><br />

therefore a trial lens attached to the collimating lens (+2.50 at 0º) is used to correct this<br />

astigmatism (see Section 2.3.2.7). Lens L4 (f’=50.8 mm) forms the image of the laser<br />

waist on the scanner in order to obtain the smallest sampling aperture on the pupil<br />

plane (~400 m). The flexibility provided by the scanner to configure sampling<br />

patterns with different distributions <strong>and</strong> densities of the samples was essential for the<br />
