Special requirements for high angular resolution interferometry.
Abstract
Stringent conditions imposed on the optical quality of the earth's atmosphere by interferometric imaging techniques are reviewed. It is suggested that these conditions be taken into account in any future site testing campaign. Consideration is given to seeing parameters relevant to interferometric imaging, statistics of Fried's parameter, the life time of fringes and speckles, the isoplanatic angle, the turbulence outerscale, and the application to site testing.
