以便描绘光骚乱,我们为 C n 的分发的测量开发了单身的星 SCIDAR (SSS ) 2 与高度。SSS 为星的焕发模式的快采样由 40 厘米望远镜和一个电荷耦合器件照相机组成。空间与时间的汽车和单身的星图象的跨关联的功能被计算,提供光骚乱紧张 C n 的垂直侧面 2 (h) 和风速度 V (h) 。用这个新 SSS 实验,骚乱的侧面能从地面被获得到空气的顶,允许看, isoplanatic 角度和连贯时间的决心。大气的光骚乱的详细特征是重要的因为活跃、被动的成像,测试的天体的地点,适应光学,激光通讯,目标追踪和指明,和激光横梁控制。我们计划改进能甚至在我们在南极洲在高西藏的高原上或在屋顶 A 期望到相遇的令人难受的天气和高度条件下面习惯性地使用它的 SSS 的自动化。SSS 将也被申请测试未来汉语的运动的地点极其大的望远镜。
In order to characterize optical turbulence, we have developed a single star SCIDAR (SSS) for measurement of the distribution of Cn^2 with height. The SSS consists of a 40 cm telescope and a CCD camera for fast sampling of stellar scintillation pattern. Spatio- temporal auto and cross-correlation functions of the single star images are computed, providing vertical profiles of optical turbulence intensity C2(h) and wind speed V(h). Using this new SSS experiment, profiles of turbulence can be obtained from the ground to the top of atmosphere, allowing the determination of seeing, isoplanatic angle and coherence time. Detailed characteristics of atmospheric optical turbulence are important for active and passive imaging, astronomical site testing, adaptive optics, laser communications, target tracking and designation, and laser beam control. We plan to improve the robotization of the SSS to be able to use it routinely even under harsh weather and altitude conditions that we expect to encounter on the high Tibetan plateau or at Dome A in Antarctica. SSS will also be applied for the site testing campaign of the future Chinese extremely large telescope.
