Towards a High Speed Adaptive Optics System for Strong Turbulence Correction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the optical design of a laboratory demonstrator for a low-order adaptive optics system with possible application to improving the performance of a free-space optical communication system. The initial design includes a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor with high-speed CMOS camera and a 37-element membrane mirror.

Control System Performance of a Woofer-Tweeter Adaptive Optics System
This paper describes the control of two deformable mirrors (DM) and a tip tilt mirror for adaptive optics. The purpose of this experimental adaptive optics system at the University of Victoria is to prove the Woofer Tweeter concept for use in instruments for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) that is currently under development. The first deformable mirror is a large stroke DM (Woofer) capable of...
متن کاملEarly closed-loop results from the MMT's multi-laser guide star adaptive optics system
Key advances in adaptive optics (AO) for both astronomical and military applications will be enabled through the deployment of multiple laser guide stars on large-aperture telescopes. Wider compensated fields of view than are now seen with conventional AO systems, even those equipped with single laser beacons, will be achieved with less field dependence of the delivered point-spread function. C...
متن کاملAn adaptive optics imaging system based on a high-resolution liquid crystal on silicon device.
An adaptive optics imaging system is introduced in this paper. A high resolution liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) device was used as a phase only wave front corrector instead of a conversional deformable mirror. The wave front aberration was detected by a Shack-Hartmann (SH) wave front sensor, which has lambda/100 rms wave front measurement accuracy. Under this construction 0.09lambda (lambda=0...
متن کاملOn the communication over strong atmospheric turbulence channels by adaptive modulation and coding.
The free-space optical (FSO) communications can provide any connectivity need at high-speed. However, an optical wave propagating through the atmosphere experiences the variation in amplitude and phase due to scintillation. To enable high-speed communication over strong atmospheric turbulence channels, we propose to transmit the encoded sequence over both FSO and wireless channels, feedback cha...
متن کاملTurbulence-aberration correction with high-speed high-gain optical phase conjugation in sodium vapor.
Optical aberrations that are due to high-speed turbulence in the aero-optical regime are corrected with optical phase conjugation based on coherent population trapping in sodium vapor. Experimental measurements of an unheated, forced helium jet in air have demonstrated aberration correction by a factor of 7.8 at a forcing frequency of 18kHz with an optical power gain of 32.
