Abstract

A delay compensation algorithm is developed for optical array receivers. This algorithm is designed to compensate for slowly varying delays due to turbulence and to combine the delay-compensated signals from all elements of the array. First, algorithm performance is evaluated through the use of simulated data. Next, the algorithm is used on experimental data, and it is shown that significant gains are possible by combining the signals from the two telescopes. Finally, the algorithm is validated using a combination of real and simulated data to determine performance limits.
