S = AreaAdditionStrehl(StrehlTerms)
Combines individual Strehl ratio terms via area addition method. The area addition method combines degradations that not only reduce the peak irradiance of the beam but also contribute to a spreading of the beam, or increase in area. Thus, $1/S = [1 - N + (1/S_1 + ... + 1/S_N)]$.
Parameters |
Description |
StrehlTerms [vector/matrix] |
Vector of individual Strehl ratio terms. If in Matrix form, the area addition is computed across the second dimension. |
Return Values |
Description |
S [scalar/vector] |
Composite Strehl ratio of individual terms |
