Mutual alignment errors due to wave-front aberrations in intersatellite laser communications.

چکیده
We analyze mutual alignment errors due to wave-front aberrations. To solve the central obscured problem, we introduce modified Zernike polynomials, which are a set of complete orthogonal polynomials. It is found that different aberrations have different effects on mutual alignment errors. Some aberrations influence only the line of sight, while some aberrations influence both the line of sight and the intensity distributions.

Laser Ray Tracing versus Hartmann-Shack sensor for measuring optical aberrations in the human eye.
A comparison and validation study of Laser Ray Tracing (LRT) and Hartmann-Shack wave-front-sensor (to be referred to as H-S) methods was carried out on both artificial and human eyes. The aim of this work was double. First, we wanted to verify experimentally the equivalence of single- and double-pass measurements for both H-S and LRT. This interest is due to the impossibility of making single-p...
متن کاملHigh-aspect-ratio line focus for an x-ray laser by a deformable mirror.
A high-aspect-ratio line focus is required on a plane target in x-ray laser experiments for obtaining a high gain-length product. Inherent wave-front aberrations in line-focusing optics, which consist of a cylindrical lens and a spherical lens, are discussed with respect to beam diameter. The nonuniformity of the linewidth that is due to the aberrations is also calculated by the ABCD matrix met...
متن کاملModeling Laser Guide Star Aberrations
When using a laser guide star (LGS) adaptive optics system, quasi-static aberrations are observed between the measured wavefronts from the LGS wavefront sensor (WFS) and the natural guide star WFS. We model these LGS aberrations. c © 2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (010.1080) Adaptive optics;(010.7350) Wave-front sensing.
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of a self-tracking 16-aperture receive telescope array for laser intersatellite communications
An adaptive receive telescope array with 16 apertures has been designed and breadboarded. With respect to size and performance, such a telescope array is well suited for use as receive antenna in a coherent interorbit laser link. The laboratory demonstrator, designed to operate at a wavelength of = 1:064 m, is completely independent of any subsequent receiver and of the data modulation format e...
متن کاملLowered threshold energy for femtosecond laser induced optical breakdown in a water based eye model by aberration correction with adaptive optics
In femtosecond laser ophthalmic surgery tissue dissection is achieved by photodisruption based on laser induced optical breakdown. In order to minimize collateral damage to the eye laser surgery systems should be optimized towards the lowest possible energy threshold for photodisruption. However, optical aberrations of the eye and the laser system distort the irradiance distribution from an ide...
