Nonlinear-Optical Correction of Aberrations in Imaging Telescopes Based on a Diffraction Structure on the Primary Mirror

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking SE Laser Physics as follows: The contractor will assess and compare various techniques for compensating for optical distortions in imaging telescopes by adding diffractive optical elements of the primary mirror of the telescope.
