Liquid-crystal spatial light modulators (LC SLMs) and segmented micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) deformable mirrors (DMs) are commonly used devices for altering wavefronts in order to simulate a portion of atmospheric turbulence. The best location of these devices was theoretically analyzed to obtain the broadest possible range of atmospheric conditions. It was revealed that a layered model for atmospheric turbulence strength can be represented by the atmospheric coherence diameter that a single segmented wavefront control device can produce. The limitations of pixelation effects on a segmented wavefront control device were investigated theoretically. The results of this analysis were then confirmed in simulation. The performance capabilities of several available commercial devices are better understood as a result of this research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51960911495456,"sku":"NEW1288302630","price":21.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/limitations-of-segmented-wavefront-control-devices-in-emulating-optical-turbulence-1288302630","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
