Estimating stochastic noise using in-situ measurements from a linear wavefront slope sensor (2016)
Journal Article

It is shown how the solenoidal component of noise from the measurements of a wavefront slope sensor can be utilized to estimate the total noise: specifically, the ensemble noise variance. It is well known that solenoidal noise is orthogonal to the re... Read More about Estimating stochastic noise using in-situ measurements from a linear wavefront slope sensor.
