Experimental Comparison of Tracking Algorithms in the Presence of Aircraft Boundary-Layer Distortions for an Emulated Free-Space Laser Communications Link
We report experiments comparing different focal plane array (FPA) tracking algorithms for emulated laser communication links between an aircraft and spacecraft. The links include look-angle-dependent phase disturbances caused by boundary-layer turbulence replicated by using a deformable mirror. Impa...
