The term aero-optics refers to the effects on the optical field of such a turbulent medium, where air is forced over and around the optical system, resulting in flow separation and the formation of shocks. 1 Here we consider the near-field distortions, also referred to as the aero-optical effects. In airborne optical systems, such distortions occur from three primary sources: via mechanical jitter at the source and sensing equipment, in the far-field where atmospheric inhomogeneities alter the refractive medium, and in the far-field where atmospheric inhomogeneities and turbulence alter the refractive medium, and in the near-field where the turbulent boundary layer (TBL) around the airborne platform rapidly alters the refractive index.
In numerous applications, high-fidelity laser beam propagation depends critically on mitigating phase distortions to the outgoing wavefront.
