Abstract
Abstract
The purpose of adaptive optics in astronomical telescopes is to improve the image quality by compensating the wavefront distortion due to atmospheric turbulence. A basic understanding of the effects of turbulence on optical image formation is necessary for the design and evaluation of adaptive systems; it is also the key to the development of new concepts and techniques. The characteristics of atmospheric turbulence and its effect on the propagation of light through Earth’s atmosphere are reviewed in this chapter.
