An Optical Window with Boundary Layer Control

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The modulation transfer of an optical window plate is limited (unless in vacuum conditions) by the temperature boundary layer which develops under a temperature difference across the window. The statistical structure of this boundary layer has a direct influence on the modulation transfer function. The effects of a direct control of this boundary layer structure have been investigated, and the results found show that a substantial improvement of the modulation transfer is possible by proper boundary layer control.
