Physics and Computation of Aero-Optics
This article provides a critical review of aero-optics with an emphasis on recent developments in computational predictions and the physical mechanisms of flow-induced optical distortions. Following a brief introduction of the fundamental theory and key concepts, computational techniques for aberrating flow fields and optical propagation are discussed along with a brief survey Annu. Rev. Fluid ...
متن کاملRecent AAOL In-Flight Wavefront Measurements of Aero-Optics and Implications for Aero-Optics Beam Control in Tactical Laser Weapon Systems
Aero-optics disturbances were measured inight with the Airborne Aero-Optics Laboratory (AAOL) 1 ft (4 in. clear aperture) at-windowed turret at an altitude of 15 kft altitude and at a Mach number of 0.5 for 47 az., 42 el. (forward-looking) and 139 az., 70 el. (rearlooking) turret angles. Wavefronts were collected using a FasCam CCD array camera with an AMO lenslet array in a Shack-Hartman con g...
متن کاملFlow structure and optical beam propagation in high Reynolds number, gas-phase shear layers and jets
We report on the structure of the scalar index-of-refraction field generated by turbulent, gas-phase, incompressible and compressible shear-layers and incompressible jets, and on associated beam-propagation aero-optical phenomena. Using simultaneous imaging of the optical-beam distortion and the turbulent-flow index-ofrefraction field, wavefront-phase functions were computed for optical beams e...
متن کامل“Feedforward” Adaptive-Optic System Identification Analysis for Mitigating Aero-Optic Disturbances
As a beam of light traverses through a non-uniform index-of-refraction field, adjacent light rays become advanced or retarded with respect to one another. This in turn creates an aberrated line of constant phase known as an aberrated optical wavefront. Such phase distortions significantly degrade the beam’s far-field intensity pattern resulting in a loss of system performance. Aberrations induc...
متن کامل50-kHz-rate 2D imaging of temperature and H2O concentration at the exhaust plane of a J85 engine using hyperspectral tomography.
This paper describes a novel laser diagnostic and its demonstration in a practical aero-propulsion engine (General Electric J85). The diagnostic technique, named hyperspectral tomography (HT), enables simultaneous 2-dimensional (2D) imaging of temperature and water-vapor concentration at 225 spatial grid points with a temporal response up to 50 kHz. To our knowledge, this is the first time that...
