Abstract:

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.

Keywords:

Shack–Hartmann sensor, optical turbulence, differential method
