General Theory of Light Propagation and Imaging Through the Atmosphere
McKechnie, T. Stewart.

General Theory of Light Propagation and Imaging Through the Atmosphere[electronic resource] /by T. Stewart McKechnie. - 2nd ed. 2022. - XXXV, 678 p. 213 illus., 105 illus. in color.online resource. - Progress in Optical Science and Photonics,202363-510X ;. - Progress in Optical Science and Photonics,2.

Introduction -- Terms, Definitions and Theoretical foundations -- Diffraction -- Wave propagation after scattering by a thin atmospheric layer -- Wave propagation over extended atmospheric paths -- Properties of point-object im ages formed by telescopes -- Properties of point-object im ages formed by telescopes -- Average intensity envelopes of unresolved star images -- Core and halo structure in star images formed by large telescopes -- Statistical properties of stellar speckle patterns -- Star image appear ance for small and large average turbulence structure sizes -- Approximate intensity envelopes for star images formed by telescopes with/without AO -- Telescope optical tolerances and telescope resolution -- Laboratory simulation of im ages formed by large telescopes -- Laser beam propagation and atmospheric path characterization -- Atmospheric isoplanatic angle: Image stabilization and AO image correction.

This 2nd edition lays out an updated version of the general theory of light propagation and imaging through Earth’s turbulent atmosphere initially developed in the late ‘70s and ‘80s, with additional applications in the areas of laser communications and high-energy laser beam propagation. New material includes a chapter providing a comprehensive mathematical tool set for precisely characterizing image formation with the anticipated Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTS), enabling a staggering range of star image shapes and sizes; existing chapters rewritten or modified so as to supplement the mathematics with clearer physical insight through written and graphical means; a history of the development of present-day understanding of light propagation and imaging through the atmosphere as represented by the general theory described. Beginning with the rudimentary, geometrical-optics based understanding of a century ago, it describes advances made in the 1960s, including the development of the ‘Kolmogorov theory,’ the deficiencies of which undermined its credibility, but not before it had done enormous damage, such as construction of a generation of underperforming ‘light bucket’ telescopes. The general theory requires no a priori turbulence assumptions. Instead, it provides means for calculating the turbulence properties directly from readily-measurable properties of star images.
