Wide-field solar adaptive optics in a layer-oriented approach

[摘要] We discuss a layer-oriented approach to multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) in solar imaging. The technique is a complement to the current star-oriented MCAO and appears as a necessary alternative when large field sizes are desired in solar observations. The basic procedure of the layer oriented method is indicated, and its characteristics are then illustrated in terms of numerical simulations.
