Abstract :
Aiming at the situation that the optical wave front is distorted by atmospheric turbulence, Zernike polynomials are employed to simulate the aberrated wave front phase, and the corresponding point spread function and the modulation transfer function are analyzed in this paper. The research in this paper can lay the foundation for the adaptive optics system wave front correction.
