Merging: a new method for tomography through random media

摘要: Multiple laser backscatter references (or guide stars) and optimal processing of the data are used to extend useful diameter that is obtained with use a single reference for imaging at infinite conjugates. The results illustrate mean-square error in estimated wave-front distortion E2 proportional D5/3, where D telescope diameter. For all cases considered expressible form = (D/d0)5/3, quantity d0 measure telescope. When nine triple value would be achieved when altitude 20 km used. impact varying altitude, changing number refrences, having two altitudes, introducing reference-position uncertainty.
