Published purpose

When light beams travel through the atmosphere, they are deformed because of variations in temperature, humidity and wind conditions. This makes reconstruction of the signal carried by the light beam very challenging. Wavefront sensing approaches allows one to measure such deformations so that they can corrected. However, doing so efficiently is extremely challenging. The Project aims to develop a better understanding of the fundamental limits of wavefront sensing and to apply advanced ML/AI techniques to optimize the sensing approach. This work will further the development of broadband wavefront sensing systems targeted at space-toground optical communications.
