Abstract

Optical wavefront propagation over a wide field-of-view was modeled on empirical data representing a single, dominant layer of atmospheric turbulence. We found the Taylor hypothesis, commonly assumed and used in simulating wavefront propagation, is not appropriate for wide-field application.
