In this paper, we show that speckle averaging helps to reduce the measurement error
associated with a Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS); however, this reduction is …

In this paper, we show that speckle averaging helps to improve adaptive-optics (AO)
performance in closed loop as a result of reduced measurement error associated with a …

It is well known to system engineers that speckle imposes a limitation on active-tracking
performance, but scaling laws that quantify this limitation do not currently exist in the peer …

We report wave-optics simulation results and benchtop experimental findings that
demonstrate reduced centroiding error through a Hadamard speckle contrast reduction …

In this paper, we use wave-optics simulations to explore laser propagation system
performance. We accomplish this by creating a trade space where we vary turbulence …

In this paper, we use wave-optics simulations to explore the benefits of hidden-phase
compensation for laser systems that employ extended-beacon adaptive optics. Specifically …
