Co-design approach to aperture masking for imaging through atmospheric turbulence

Olivier Herscovici-Schiller, Laurent M. Mugnier, Alice Fontbonne +5

Aperture masking interferometry is a technique originally designed to alleviate the influence of atmospheric turbulence on images recorded on ground-based telescopes. In this commu…
