Simulation of long distance optical propagation on a benchtop

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An optical instrument derived from two telescopes simulates long distance propagation of optical wavefronts, in short real distances. Both geometric and wave optical effects are correctly simulated. One 900:1 distance scaler is used routinely for benchtop testing and adjustment of laser leveling instruments that work at ranges of the order of a kilometer.
