Atmospheric Turbulence Monitoring

Detailed understanding of atmospheric turbulence is critical for free-space optical communications, quantum key distribution (QKD), and optical astronomy.

 

Twinkle is the world's first 24/7 atmospheric turbulence monitor. Fully autonomous and rapidly deployable.

​

Measure from your site:

• Seeing

• Coherence length, time and angle

• Rytov variance

• Vertical turbulence profile

​

An example where Twinkle is being used is the European Space Agency ALASCA project for the Optical Feeder Link.
