Atmospheric optical turbulence is non-linear and non-stationary, and decomposition is a prominent technique for dealing with such datasets. Traditional decomposition techniques, such as the Fourier ...

The performance of tomographic adaptive optics (AO) systems is intrinsically linked to the vertical profile of optical turbulence. First, a sufficient number of discrete turbulent layers must be ...

We present the development, tests, and first results of the second-generation LOLAS-2. This instrument constitutes a strongly improved version of the prototype LOLAS, which is aimed at the measurement ...

ABSTRACT The vertical distribution of turbulence over Mauna Kea has been measured on four nights in 2002 October, simultaneously using two different instruments based on stellar scintillation—the ...

The optical turbulence profile (OTP) is recovered from the cross-correlation of the wavefront slope measurements for the two stars. SLODAR systems, based on small telescopes (typically 50cm aperture) ...

[2] Mesoscale optical turbulence simulations above Tibetan Plateau: first attempt.. Optics Express (2020). [3] Direct observation of atmospheric turbulence with a video-rate wide-field wavefront ...

New measurements of optical turbulence profile at the Cerro Pachón observatory in Chile are analysed jointly with previously published data to model the variations of the intensity and thickness of ...

Long-range quantum communication requires sending qubits, usually photonic cubits, over long distances through free space. Photons propagating through free space encounter optical turbulence, causing ...

Turbulence Forecasting Contact: James Osborn We have developed an optical turbulence forecast tool which can be used to in two ways: Post-process archived meteorological data in order to develop ...
