Adaptive Optics Correction in Real-Time for Dynamic Wavefront Errors

Abstract

This paper reports on the principles for the use of, and the experimental results obtained from, an adaptive optics system for correcting dynamic wavefront errors in real time. The system consists of a 21-element deformable mirror, a lateral shearing interferometer, and a parallel electronic control system. Keywords: Adaptive optics; Wavefront sensing; Deformable mirror; Chinese translations.
