Four-dimensional computer dynamic model of an atmospheric optical system

摘要

A computer code for simulation of high-power beams thermal blooming in the turbulent atmosphere and imaging in a ground- based telescope is described. This code also allows one to simulate the components of adaptive systems, such as the Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor and various flexible and segmented mirrors. Our software can be used for estimation of beams and images parameters in the atmosphere and for the investigations of adaptive optical system efficiency.
