We present a simple method of extracting a small number of reference optical turbulence and wind profiles from a large data set for single conjugate and extreme adaptive optics (AO) simulations. These reference profiles can be used in slow end-to-end... Read More about Reference optical turbulence and wind profiles for single conjugate and extreme adaptive optics.

Free space optical links between the ground and space may be severely degraded by atmospheric turbulence. Adaptive Optics, a technique allowing partial correction of this degradation, is beginning to see use in the field with the potential to achieve...
