Study of atmospheric turbulence and wave-front sensing by means of
moiré deflectometry and their potential applications in astronomical
adaptive optics systems

Saifollah Rasouli (IASBS)

Abstract:

Taking advantages of moiré technique we have developed some different methods with different capabilities to study the atmospheric turbulence and wave-front sensing. In this talk, I will review the moiré based techniques in measuring atmospheric turbulence parameters. Also, an adjustable, high sensitivity, wide dynamic range method for wave-front sensing using moiré deflectometry will be presented. Finally, some potential adaptive optics applications of the proposed methods in astronomy will be presented.
