Optimizing calculation of phase screen distribution with minimum condition along an inhomogeneous turbulent path

Shao Wen-Yi^{1, 2, 3}, Xian Hao^{1, 3, †,}

The positions of phase screen with the different layers (5, 6, and 7 layer) of atmosphere under the H–V5/7 profile (blue solid line). (a1)–(a3) The positions of phase screen (red circles) are calculated by the iterative algorithm. (b1)–(b3) The phase screens (red triangles) are evenly distributed. The dotted lines are base lines. The mauve zone is a specific observation area (its height is 1 km).
