Abstract
A reflective membrane optical scintillator system for laboratory simulation of atmospheric laser scintillation is described which comprises a substantially rigid frame defining an opening of preselected size and shape, a reflective membrane stretched on the frame within the opening and held to provide a well defined boundary for vibrational excitation of the membrane, a source of light and related optics for directing a collimated light beam onto the membrane, and an acoustic transducer for controllably vibrationally exciting the membrane with a preselected acoustical spectrum for spatially modulating the beam whereby atmospheric turbulence effects are predictably simulated.
