Development of a Background Oriented Schlieren Based Wavefront Sensor for Aero-Optics
Abhishek Bichal,* Brian Thurow†
Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849, USAThe fundamental principles of Background Oriented Schlieren (BOS) imaging are conducive for the measurement of optical wavefront distortions imposed by turbulent flows. This work explores the initial development of a wavefront sensor based on BOS. The advantages of a BOS based wavefront sensor over a competing device, such as a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor, is the ability to measure large aperture wavefronts with potentially high spatial resolution in an economical fashion. An analytical analysis which incorporates the imaging function requirement of the sensor illustrates the ability to measure local wavefront tilts with accuracies on the order of 20 microradians. The analysis finds that under imaging conditions, sensitivity is mainly a function of the lens f-number, which allows the background to be positioned further away from the test section, with the lens focal length only playing a minor role. These ideas were tested using experiments conducted on a cone mounted in a Mach 2.0 wind tunnel. Wavefront measurements agreed qualitatively with the distortion expected from an analytical model of the conical shock’s density field. Turbulent boundary layers and Mach wave radiation from the tunnel walls were also detected. Future experiments will calibrate the measurement with a known distortion source. Overall, the concept of a BOS based wavefront sensor is shown to be a valid and viable option for wavefront measurements, particularly for aero-optics studies in medium to large-scale environments.
Both the camera and the strobe light were controlled using a quantum composer digital pulse delay generator.
