13 October 2005Design of a mobile adaptive optics system for ground-level applications
We present design considerations for a mobile adaptive optics (AO) system intended for ground-level or near ground-level applications in the near infrared spectral range. Starting from the expected atmospheric parameters we arrive at a preliminary system design. Since atmospheric conditions at ground level are considerably worse than those encountered for vertical AO systems, we conducted extensive end-to-end simulations of our system design for three anticipated scenarios in order to evaluate expected performance; these simulations concentrated on anisoplanacy and the effect of scintillations on wave-front control.
