Atmospheric turbulence profiles were estimated for a horizontal path based upon measurements made with a dual beacon Hartmann Turbulence Sensor (HTS) using simulation derived weighting functions. These results are compared to estimates made using a weighting functions computed from theory. These results are further compared to anemometer and scintillometer based turbulence estimates for the same path. The previously published theoretical weighting functions for this situation are based upon some presumptions of geometric optics and thus ignore both diffraction and scintillation effects. All of these weighting functions quantify how turbulence at different distances along the path contributes to the expected value of the differential tilt variances measured by the HTS. In the experiment, the HTS used a 16” Meade telescope with 700 subapertures along a 511 m path roughly 2 meters above the ground. Two HeNe lasers separated by 11 cm served as beacons, each was beam expanded to well overfill the telescope aperture. The same situation was simulated with wave optics. To create simulated weighting functions, a single (usually weak) random turbulence screen was inserted at a single plane perpendicularly to the propagation path. Light from one beacon was then numerically propagated to the telescope aperture where the tilts were computed over each subaperture and saved. This propagation was then carried out for the second beacon. This random phase screen was then inserted at a different propagation plane and this procedure was repeated. When all the desired positions along the beam path had been sampled a new random phase screen was generated and this whole procedure was repeated hundreds of times. The desired weighting functions were then generated by computing the differential tilt variance between the beacons and all pairs of horizontally separated subapertures for each path position. All equivalent subaperture separations within each range bin were then averaged together to produce weighting functions which depend on path position and subaperture separation distance. The weighting functions produced in this fashion showed some differences from the theoretical ones. They were a little weaker far from the telescope, and they showed a somewhat broadened notch where the beacons overlapped compared to the theoretical ones. The effect of these differences on the resulting turbulence profile estimates will be discussed.

This study advances the benefits of previously reported 4D Weather Cubes towards creation of high fidelity cloud free line of sight (CFLOS) beam propagation for realistic assessment of auto-tracked/dynamically routed free space optical communication datalink concepts. 4D Weather Cubes are the product of efficient processing of large, computationally intensive, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) gridded numerical weather prediction (NWP) data coupled with embedded physical relationships governing cloud, fog, and precipitation formation to render highly realistic 4D cloud free line of sight analytical environments. The Weather Cubes accrue parameterization of optical effects and custom atmospheric resolution through implementation of the verified and validated Laser Environmental Effects Definition and Reference (LEEDR) atmospheric characterization and radiative transfer code. 4D Weather Cube analyses have recently been expanded to accurately assess Directed Energy weapons and sensor performance (probabilistic climatologies and performance forecasts) at any wavelength/frequency or spectral band in the absence of field test and employment data. The 4D Weather Cubes initialize the High Energy Laser End to End Operational Simulation (HELEEOS) propagation code, which provides a means to dynamically point the communication link. HELEEOS’ calculation of irradiance at the detector as a function of transmission, optical turbulence, and noise sources such as path radiance was the basis for comparative percentile performance binning of FSO communication bit error rates as a function of wide-ranging azimuth/elevation, earth-to-space uplinks. The aggregated, comparative bit error rate binning analyses for different regions, times of day, and seasons using a full year of data provided numerous occasions of clouds, fogs, and precipitation events, thus demonstrating the relevance of 4D Weather Cubes for adroit management of CFLOS opportunities to enhance performance analyses of point-to-point as well as evolving multilayer wireless network concepts.

Read Abstract +

Atmospheric turbulence parameters are estimated for an imaging path based on time-lapse imaging results. Atmospheric turbulence causes frame-to-frame shifts of the entire image as well as parts of the image. The statistics of these shifts encode information about the turbulence strength (as characterized by Cn2, the refractive index structure function constant) along the optical path. The shift variance observed is simply proportional to the variance of the tilt of the optical field averaged over the area being tracked and averaged over the camera aperture. By presuming this turbulence follows the Kolmogorov spectrum, weighting functions, which relate the turbulence strength along the path to the shifts measured, are derived. These weighting functions peak at the camera and fall to zero at the object. The larger the area observed, the more quickly the weighting function decays. One parameter we would like to estimate is r0 (the Fried parameter or atmospheric coherence diameter.) The weighting functions derived for pixel sized or larger parts of the image all fall faster than the weighting function appropriate for estimating the spherical wave r0. If we were to presume that Cn2 is constant along the path, then an estimate for r0 could be obtained for each area tracked, but since the weighting function for r0 differs substantially from that for every realizable tracked area, it can be expected that this approach would yield a poor estimate. Instead, the weighting functions for a number of different patch sizes can be combined through the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse to create a weighting function that yields the least-squares optimal linear combination of measurements for the estimation of r0. This approach is carried out for one example and is shown to give noisy results. A modified version of this approach that creates larger patches by averaging several smaller patches together solves this noise issue. This approach can also work to estimate other atmospheric parameters.

Simulation of anisoplanatic imaging through optical turbulence using numerical wave propagation with new validation analysis

We present a numerical wave propagation method for simulating imaging of an extended scene under anisoplanatic conditions. While isoplanatic simulation is relatively common, few tools are specifically designed for simulating the imaging of extended scenes under anisoplanatic conditions. We provide a complete description of the proposed simulation tool, including the wave propagation method used. Our approach computes an array of point spread functions (PSFs) for a two-dimensional grid on the object plane. The PSFs are then used in a spatially varying weighted sum operation, with an ideal image, to produce a simulated image with realistic optical turbulence degradation. The degradation includes spatially varying warping and blurring. To produce the PSF array, we generate a series of extended phase screens. Simulated point sources are numerically propagated from an array of positions on the object plane, through the phase screens, and ultimately to the focal plane of the simulated camera. Note that the optical path for each PSF will be different, and thus, pass through a different portion of the extended phase screens. These different paths give rise to a spatially varying PSF to produce anisoplanatic effects. We use a method for defining the individual phase screen statistics that we have not seen used in previous anisoplanatic simulations. We also present a validation analysis. In particular, we compare simulated outputs with the theoretical anisoplanatic tilt correlation and a derived differential tilt variance statistic. This is in addition to comparing the long- and short-exposure PSFs and isoplanatic angle. We believe this analysis represents the most thorough validation of an anisoplanatic simulation to date. The current work is also unique that we simulate and validate both constant and varying Cn2(z) profiles. Furthermore, we simulate sequences with both temporally independent and temporally correlated turbulence effects. Temporal correlation is introduced by generating even larger extended phase screens and translating this block of screens in front of the propagation area. Our validation analysis shows an excellent match between the simulation statistics and the theoretical predictions. Thus, we think this tool can be used effectively to study optical anisoplanatic turbulence and to aid in the development of image restoration methods.
