“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 کاملPhase-Locked-Loop Adaptive-Optic Controller and Simulated Shear Layer Correction
An alternative adaptive-optic controller, using both flow control and a phase-lock-loop control strategy, has been designed to overcome bandwidth limitations inhibiting current adaptive-optic controllers. A discrete-vortex code and weakly compressible model were used to simulate high-speed shear layer adaptive-optic corrections based upon the proposed phase-lock-loop controller given a range of...
متن کاملNumerical Prediction of the Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of the Aero-optical Disturbance Produced by a Helicopter in Hover
by Ryan T. Kelly Aero-optical disturbances produced from turbulent compressible flow-fields can seriously degrade the performance of an optical signal. At compressible flight speeds these disturbances stem from the density variations present in turbulent boundary-layers and free-shear layers; however helicopters typically operate at incompressible speeds which nearly eliminates the aberrating e...
متن کاملThe Optical Environment from the Tip Vortices of a Helicopter in Different Flight Regimes
by Christopher O. Porter Aero-optical aberrations associated with turbulent compressible flow fields can seriously degrade the performance of an optical system; the effect of these aberrations increases as the wavelength of the transiting light becomes shorter, and so is particularly strong at visible and near-infrared wavelengths. These aero-optic aberrations originate from both spatialand tem...
متن کاملA Latency-Tolerant Architecture for Airborne Adaptive Optic Systems
A new data-driven method for latency compensation in adaptive optics sytems is developed and evaluated in this paper. Conventional adaptive optic controllers typically assume a single timestep of latency in the feedback loop, which is an appropriate assumption for low-frequency applications such as atmospheric optics compensation. However, the controller frequencies needed for aero-optic applic...
