Measurement of telescope aberrations through atmospheric turbulence by use of phase diversity

Abstract

We conduct computer simulations of the reconstruction of a wave front at a telescope pupil with the phase-diversity method. An instantaneous wave front is reconstructed from focused and defocused specklegrams of a point star. In the wave-front reconstruction we do not fit the wave front to Zernike polynomials but retrieve the phase with a phase-unwrapping procedure. Averaging over many atmospherically perturbed wave fronts leads to the residual phase error, namely, the aberration of the telescope. The scintillation effect, nonuniformity of amplitude on a telescope pupil, is also discussed.
