Quantifying speckle noise in wavefront sensors for beam projection in weak turbulence

<jats:p>Adaptive optics (AO) compensation for imaging or coherent illumination of a remote object relies on accurate sensing of atmospheric aberrations. When a coherent beacon is projected onto the object to enable wavefront sensing, the reflected reference wave will exhibit random variation i...
