Optical turbulence in confined media Part II:first results using the INTENSE instrument
Résumé
Optical system performances can be affected by local optical turbulence created by its surrounding environment (telescope dome, clean room, or atmospheric layer). This paper follows a previous one introducing the INdoor TurbulENce SEnsor (INTENSE) instrument for optical turbulence characterization in a local area by exploitation of laser beam angle-of-arrival fluctuations. After a brief summary of the theoretical background, we present in this part results obtained using the INTENSE instrument in various optical integration testing clean rooms and telescope domes, each with specific air behavior conditions.
