V The Effects of Atmospheric Turbulence in Optical Astronomy

Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the effects of atmospheric turbulence in optical astronomy, summarizes the present state of the theory, reviews the experimental checks that have been made, and discusses the implications in the domain of astronomical observations. Diffraction limited resolution has been obtained with large telescopes up to magnitude 13 by means of speckle interferometry. A Michelson interferometer is already working in the visible on a 20 m baseline up to magnitude 4, and many projects are nearing completion. However, such technological progress can be useful only if accurate quantitative measurements prove to be feasible through atmospheric turbulence. In addition, much work remains to be done before achieving a full understanding of atmospheric effects. The relationship between isoplanicity or speckle boiling and the structure of the atmosphere is still not clear.

Phase-shifting speckle interferometry

Abstract: Speckle patterns have high frequency phase data, which make it difficult to find the absolute phase of a single speckle pattern; however, the phase of the difference between two correlated speckle patterns can be determined. This is done by applying phase-shifting techniques to speckle interferometry, which will quantitatively determine the phase of double-exposure speckle measurements. The technique uses computer control to take data and calculate phase without an intermediate recording step. The randomness of the speckle causes noisy data points which are removed by data processing routines. One application of this technique is finding the phase of deformations, where up to ten waves of wavefront deformation can easily be measured. Results of deformations caused by tilt of a metal plate and a disbond in a honeycomb structure brazed to an aluminum plate are shown.
