A liquid crystal atmospheric turbulence simulator.
In the paper, a method to calculate the time evolution turbulence wavefronts based on the covariance method is theoretically presented in detail. According to it, the time-evolution wavefronts disturbed by atmospheric turbulence were experimentally generated by our LC atmospheric turbulence simulator (ATS) based on liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) with high pixel density, and measured with a wa...
متن کاملA New Method of Generating Atmospheric Turbulence with a Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator
When the light begins to propagate through Earth’s atmosphere, the varying index of refraction will alter the optical path, as shown in Fig. 2. The Earth’s atmosphere can be described as a locally homogeneous medium in which its properties vary with respect to temperature, pressure, wind velocities, humidity and many other factors. Also, the Earth’s atmosphere temporally changes in a quasi-rand...
متن کاملReal-time liquid-crystal atmosphere turbulence simulator with graphic processing unit.
To generate time-evolving atmosphere turbulence in real time, a phase-generating method for our liquid-crystal (LC) atmosphere turbulence simulator (ATS) is derived based on the Fourier series (FS) method. A real matrix expression for generating turbulence phases is given and calculated with a graphic processing unit (GPU), the GeForce 8800 Ultra. A liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) with 256x256...
متن کاملMeasurement of Atmospheric Turbulence
How light and sound propagate through the optically clear atmosphere has been of interest to children, philosophers, scientists, and engineers since antiquity. The quantum leap in our understanding of wave propagation through the turbulent atmosphere, however, came with the pioneering work by Valeryan Tatarskii and collaborators in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Their work enhanced dramatically our abi...
متن کاملA Simple Turbulence Simulator for Adaptive Optics
The SOAR telescope in Chile is dedicated to high angular resolution. For this reason it will be equipped with an AO instrument, the SOAR Adaptive Module (SAM), that will be able to improve the image quality by a factor of 2 to 5 in the visible, thanks to a partial correction of the first few kilometers of the atmosphere. TurSim is the turbulence simulator designed for SAM, and consists of teles...
