Main Methods:

  • Calculated atmospheric turbulence wavefronts using Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence theory.
  • Derived a formula connecting pixel number, DLCWFC aperture, quantization level, and atmospheric coherence length.
  • Analyzed the functional relationships between these parameters.

Main Results:

  • Pixel number across the DLCWFC aperture is a linear function of telescope aperture and quantization level.
  • Pixel number is an exponential function of the atmospheric coherence length.
  • The derived formula offers a straightforward approach to error evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method and formula simplify the evaluation of DLCWFC wavefront compensation error.
  • These findings are valuable for astronomers and optical engineers using DLCWFCs with large-aperture telescopes.
