Abstract:
Simulating the turbulence effect on ground telescope observations is of fundamental importance for the design and test of suitable control algorithms for adaptive optics systems. In this paper we propose a multiscale approach for efficiently synthesizing turbulent phases at very high resolutions: First, the turbulence is simulated at low resolution taking advantage of a previously developed method for generating phase screens, [2]. Then, high resolution phase screens are obtained as the output of a multiscale linear stochastic system. The multiscale approach significantly improves the computational efficiency of turbulence simulation with respect to recently developed methods [1],[2],[8]. Furthermore, the proposed procedure ensures good accuracy in reproducing the statistical characteristics of the turbulent phase.
