Simultaneous Measurements of the Fried Parameter r 0 and the Isoplanatic Angle θ 0 using SCIDAR and Adaptive Optics - First Results

چکیده
We present first results of a simultaneous atmospheric turbulence measurement campaign at the Calar Alto (Spain) 1.23 m and 3.5 m telescopes. A SCIDAR instrument and the Calar Alto Adaptive Optics system ALFA were used at the 1.23 m and 3.5 m telescopes respectively to determine essential turbulence parameters like the Fried parameter r 0 , the isoplanatic angle θ 0 , and, in the case of SCIDAR, the C 2 n profile of the atmosphere. Both closed-loop and open-loop data were obtained with ALFA. The desired parameters were then calculated from this. This paper shows a comparison of the results obtained from the two different systems for several times during a period of three nights.

Deriving an estimate for the Fried parameter in mobile optical transmission scenarios.
Measuring the Fried parameter r(0) (atmospheric optical coherence length) in optical link scenarios is crucial to estimate a receiver's telescope performance or to dimension atmospheric mitigation techniques, such as in adaptive optics. The task of measuring r(0) is aggravated in mobile scenarios, when the receiver itself is prone to mechanical vibrations (e.g., when mounted on a moving platfor...
متن کاملOptical Turbulence On The Antarctic Plateau
Atmospheric turbulence results taken on the Antarctic plateau are presented in this thesis. Covering two high sites: South Pole and Dome C, this work describes their seeing and meteorological conditions. Using an acoustic sounder to study the turbulence profile of the first kilometre of the atmosphere and a Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM) to investigate the integrated seeing we are abl...

The results obtained from 3398 vertical prooles of atmospheric turbulence measured during 11 nights at the Observatorio Astronn omico Nacional in San Pedro MM artir (Baja California, M exico) are presented. The observations were carried out with the generalized scidar (GS) installed at the 1.5 m and the 2.1 m telescopes of that site, in March and April 1997. The open air seeing was measured wit...

Four binaries, 10 UMa, UMa, 81 Cnc, and UMa, were observed with adaptive optics on the 3.5m telescope at the Starrre Optical Range on March 24, 1998, in order to investigate the relative photometry produced by adaptive optics within the isoplanatic patch. Iterative Blind Deconvolution (IBD) and Parametric Blind Deconvolution (PBD) techniques were used to post-process the data, and produced cons...
متن کاملDistributed Incremental Least Mean-Square for Parameter Estimation using Heterogeneous Adaptive Networks in Unreliable Measurements
Adaptive networks include a set of nodes with adaptation and learning abilities for modeling various types of self-organized and complex activities encountered in the real world. This paper presents the effect of heterogeneously distributed incremental LMS algorithm with ideal links on the quality of unknown parameter estimation. In heterogeneous adaptive networks, a fraction of the nodes, defi...
