Laser Beam Control in Strong Turbulence (preprint)

Abstract

The overall purpose of this task is to investigate control and diagnostic techniques that apply to laser propagation systems. The current emphasis is in two major areas: first to investigate full wave conjugation methods for optimal uplink efficiency from a laser source to a relay mirror; second, to investigate automatic diagnostic techniques that apply to complex systems Air Force systems.
