Principles of Adaptive Optics describes the foundations, principles, and applications of
adaptive optics (AO) and its enabling technologies. This leading textbook addresses the …

Reviews the major advances achieved in the studies of EM wave propagation in turbulent
media. The greatest attention has been directly to the problem of strong fluctuations of …

We have calculated intensity spectra and variances for waves emanating from a point
source and propagating through extended three-dimensional random media by simulation …

Irradiance variance for optical propagation through atmospheric turbulence is calculated by
numerical simulation. Let l_0 be the inner scale, Rf be the Fresnel scale, and β_0^ 2 be the …

Experimental results are described of measurements of irradiance fluctuations of laser
radiation through atmospheric turbulence. Simultaneous measurements of irradiance …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the wave propagation theories in random media
based on the path-integral approach. The chapter focuses on the connection between the …

Tip-tilt compensation - Resolution limits for ground-based telescopes using lase ADS Classic is
now deprecated. It will be completely retired in October 2019. This page will automatically …

A new method for measuring the inner scale and structure constant of atmospheric
turbulence is proposed and tested. It utilizes both phase and amplitude fluctuations of laser …

We present calculations of the scintillation index that result from a plane wave of light
impinging on the atmosphere. Calculations are made using the two-scale theory and …

The enhancement effect of the backscattered intensity in a random continuum under the
forward scatter approximation is studied. This effect is attributed to the gain of coherence …
