Bandwidth specification for adaptive optics systems

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A simplified expression for the bandwidth of an adaptive optics system is found to depend on a weighted path integral of the turbulence strength, where the weighting is transverse wind velocity to the 5/3 power. The wave-front corrector is conservatively assumed to match the phase perfectly, at least spatially, if not temporally. For the case of astronomical imaging from a mountaintop observatory, the necessary bandwidth is found to be less than 200 Hz.
