Simulation Study on Effect of Atmospheric Turbulence on Space-Based Optical Imaging System
Based on the theory of light wave propagation in the atmosphere, the imaging process of a space-based optical system in a slant atmospheric path is simulated, the influence of atmospheric turbulence on imaging quality under different conditions is analyzed, and the simulation results are compared with theoretical ones. The simulation results show that when the system aperture is smaller than the atmospheric coherence length, the resolution increases significantly as the aperture enlarges. While the system aperture is larger than the atmospheric coherence length, the resolution tends to be stable gradually as the aperture increases, and the optimal aperture is about 2
