Abstract
The relationship between Strehl ratio (S), the parameter most
often used by those in the adaptive optics field, and visibility
(V), the parameter of most interest to those working in
interferometry, is investigated. It is found that if the atmospheric turbulence
is assumed to be Kolmogorov, V ≃ S for
high Strehl ratios. At low Strehl ratios, both simulations and an analytical
formulation show that the Strehl ratio underestimates the visibility.
