Knowledge of the optical refractive index structure parameter $C_n^2$ is of interest for Free Space Optics (FSO) and ground-based optical astronomy, as it depicts the strength of the expected scintillation on the received optical waves.…

The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor is widely used to measure aberrations induced by atmospheric turbulence in adaptive optics systems. However if there exists strong atmospheric turbulence or the brightness of guide stars is low, the…

Scintillation detectors are essential tools for radiation measurement, but calibrating them accurately can be challenging, especially when full-energy peaks are not prominent. This is common in detectors like plastic scintillators. Current…

Accurate high-resolution vertical profiles of optical turbulence ($C_n^2$), which reflect local meteorology and topography, are crucial for ground-based optical astronomy and free-space optical communication. However, measuring these…
