Abstract

This paper presents a laboratory study of the aberrations calculation in underwater turbulence using the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. The wavefront decomposition method and Zernike polynomials determine the aberration parameters. In our experimental setup, the turbulent phase screen generator is located in two locations: near the transmitter and therefore far from the receiver, and near the receiver and consequently far from the transmitter. Additionally, we investigate the impact of aperture diameter on turbulence-induced aberrations in the optical receiver system. However, it is essential to note that the coefficients of Zernike polynomials obtained using this method are subject to errors caused by receiver sensor noise and correlation between the polynomials. To address this, we first calculate the coefficients in different arrangements and then correct measurement errors arising from sensor noise and polynomial coefficient correlation.
