Summary
Based on the fact that the returned photon numbers are too low in Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) and the new method that effects of atmospheric tiptilt are considered, the two algorithms for computation of atmospheric tip-tilt, absolute difference and cross correlation, are investigated. Programs are applied to the extended target of the lunar surface. The atmospheric tip-tilt is computed in different conditions, the best algorithm is selected. A new method is put forward to reduce the time in atmospheric tip-tilt computing, and the possibility on real-time compensation in Lunar Laser Ranging is positive.
