This paper gives a background into aero-optics which is the effect that turbulent flow over and around an aircraft has on a laser projected or received by an optical system. The background also discusses the magnitude of the detrimental effects that aero-optics has on optical system performance and the need to measure these effects in flight. The Airborne Aero-Optics Laboratory, AAOL, fulfills this need by providing an airborne laboratory that can capture wavefronts imposed on a laser beam from a morphable optical turret; the aircraft has a Mach number range up to low transonic speeds. This paper presents the AAOL concept as well as a description of its optical components and sensing capabilities and uses. |
