Abstract
To confirm the effect of uplink atmospheric turbulence on Fourier telescopy (FT), we designed a system for far-field imaging, utilizing a T-type laser transmitting configuration with commercially available hardware, except for a green imaging laser. The horizontal light transmission distance for both uplink and downlink was ∼300 m. For both the transmitting and received beams, the height upon the ground was below 1 m. The imaging laser's pointing accuracy was ∼9.3 μrad. A novel image reconstruction approach was proposed, yielding significantly improved quality and Strehl ratio of reconstructed images. From the reconstruction result, we observed that the tip/tilt aberration is tolerated by the FT system even for Changchun's atmospheric coherence length parameter (r0) below 3 cm. The resolution of the reconstructed images was ∼0.615 μrad.
