[HTML][HTML] Open-loop wavefront sensing in the presence of speckle and weak scintillation

DJ Burrell, MF Spencer, RG Driggers - Optics Communications, 2024 - Elsevier
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 …

Closed-loop adaptive optics in the presence of speckle and weak scintillation

DJ Burrell, MF Spencer, RG Driggers - Journal of Optics, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org

performance in closed loop as a result of reduced measurement error associated with a …

System-level noise performance of coherent imaging systems

DJ Burrell, JH Follansbee, MF Spencer… - Optics Express, 2023 - opg.optica.org
We provide an in-depth analysis of noise considerations in coherent imaging, accounting for
speckle and scintillation in addition to “conventional” image noise. Specifically, we formulate …

Wave-optics investigation of branch-point density

JR Beck, JP Bos, TJ Brennan… - Optical …, 2022 - spiedigitallibrary.org
We use wave-optics simulations to investigate branch-point density (ie, the number of

Active-tracking scaling laws using the noise-equivalent angle due to speckle

DJ Burrell, MF Spencer, MK Beason, RG Driggers - JOSA A, 2023 - opg.optica.org
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 …
