Frequency dissemination with free-space optical links [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Optical clock technology is very certain to be integrated in the next high precision time standards. The demand for higher accuracy in time synchronization makes the use of free-space optical links necessary for frequency dissemination, especially if ...

Monitoring AerosolPollutant Layer by Lidar Combined with some other Instruments [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, 2006
Lidar is a powerful tool for monitoring vertical profile of aerosol pollutant layer (APL) and its variation. The extinction-to-backscatter ratio, S1, is a crucial parameter for quantitative interpretation of lidar data.

An embedded adaptive optics real time controller [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The design and realisation of a low cost, high speed control system for adaptive optics (AO) is presented. This control system is built around a field programmable gate array (FPGA).

Impacts of Transboundary Dust Transport on Aerosol Pollution in the Western Yangtze River Delta Region, China: Insights Gained From Ground‐Based Lidar and Satellite Observations

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2021
Dust storms pose a serious threat to air quality and public health through large‐scale, long‐distance transport. In early April 2018, two severe dust storm events occurred in the Taklimakan and Gobi Deserts in northwestern China.

Turbulence characterisation for Astronomical Observatories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Atmospheric turbulence has two effects in astronomy; (i) the broadening of the point spread function due to phase fluctuations limiting the resolution of imaging and (ii) producing intensity fluctuations known as scintillation.

The use of liquid crystal adaptive optics devices in astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Images obtained from large astronomical telescopes are distorted and blurred by the effects of the atmosphere. In order to compensate for this, an adaptive optics system can be incorporated downstream from the telescope focus.

Optical Phenomena in the Atmosphere [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1944
THE "Solar Halo Phenomenon" described by G. H. Archenhold in Nature of September 30 was referred to in recent correspondence in The Times and was explained in a short article by me in The Times of August 31. The occurrences of August 9 seem to have been particularly striking.
