Measurement of the atmospheric primary aberrations by a 4-aperture differential image motion monitor

Shomali, Ramin ; Nasiri, Sadollah and Darudi, Ahmad LU (2011) In Journal of Optics 13(5).
Abstract
The present paper investigates and discusses the ability of the Hartmann test with a 4-aperture differential image motion monitor (DIMM) to measure the atmospheric primary aberrations which, in turn, can be used for the calculation of the atmospheric coherence time. Through performing numerical simulations, we show that the 4-aperture DIMM is able to measure the defocus and astigmatism terms correctly whereas its results are not reliable for the coma. The most important limitations in the measurement of the primary aberrations by the 4-aperture DIMM are the centroid displacements of the spots which are caused by the higher order aberrations. This effect is negligible in the calculation of the defocus and astigmatisms, whereas it cannot be... (More)
