Publication number: 20200218064Abstract: A generally time-varying boundary surface between a plurality of flowing fluids having different refractive indices, e.g. the boundary surface between water and air with an open water surface, produces an optical disturbance.

For this purpose, a wavefront modulator is introduced into the beam path of the optical measuring method, the modulator actively compensating for the optical disturbance by means of a control system.
