Abstract:

Different realizations of methods for estimation of random tilts of wavefront are considered. Dispersions of tilt estimates are demonstrated to practically coincide for different methods of their determination. Possibilities of measuring the Fried parameter for adaptive optics applications are determined. The parameters of a Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor are analytically calculated for operation under different conditions in terms of turbulence level and for radiation at different wavelengths.

Keywords:
