Spatial spectrum analysis of wave-front correction with a segmented mirror.
نویسنده
چکیده
An expression is derived for the spatial power spectrum of wave-front errors after correction with a segmented mirror. This includes estimates of the spectral contributions of segment piston and tilt corrections and spatial aliasing by a regular array of segments. The approach allows rapid computation of wave-front error spectra in systems with highly segmented mirrors.

Wind-induced deformations in a segmented mirror.
A Zernike expansion of wind-induced deformations in a segmented mirror is described. The wind model is a frozen turbulent field with a Kolmogorov spectrum for scales smaller than the outer scale and a flat spectrum for scales larger than the outer scale. The approach allows a mode-by-mode comparison of the wave-front error contributions from atmospheric phase distortions, wind-induced deformati...
متن کاملSpatially filtered wave-front sensor for high-order adaptive optics.
Adaptive optics (AO) systems take sampled measurements of the wave-front phase. Because in the general case the spatial-frequency content of the phase aberration is not band limited, aliasing will occur. This aliasing will cause increased residual error and increased scattered light in the point-spread function (PSF). The spatially filtered wave-front sensor (SFWFS) mitigates this phenomenon by...
متن کاملMeasurement accuracy in control of segmented-mirror telescopes.
Design concepts for future large optical telescopes have highly segmented primary mirrors, with the out-of-plane degrees of freedom actively controlled. We estimate the contribution to errors in controlling the primary mirror that results from sensor noise and, in particular, compare mechanical measurements of relative segment motion with optical wave-front information. Data from the Keck teles...
متن کاملRobust Wave-front Correction in a Small-Scale Adaptive Optics System Using a Membrane Deformable Mirror
A small-scale laboratory adaptive optics system using a Shack-Hartmann wave-front sensor (WFS) and a membrane deformable mirror (DM) has been built for robust image acquisition. In this study, an adaptive limited control technique is devised to maintain the long-term correction stability of the adaptive optics system. To prevent the waste of dynamic correction range for small residual wave-fron...

The most of wave spectrum analyzes in Persian Gulf were based on the existing field measurements, but the precision and applicability of the determined spectrum parameters were dependent on number of field wave stations, duration of field data and the spatial distribution of field wave stations. In this research, it is attempted to re-analysis again the wave spectrum parameters presented by pre...
