Atmospheric turbulence meter based on a Shack Hartmann-wavefront sensor

摘要

We propose utilizing a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor as a differential image motion meter for the real-time measurement of optical turbulence parameters in the atmosphere. A prototype of a mobile meter has been created, and a compact and inexpensive Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor has been designed for this purpose by using original design solutions and software.
