Advanced Beam Control Technologies: Beaconless Wavefront Sensing and Adaptive Optics with Advanced Filtering, Prediction and Control

Abstract

Advanced Beam Control Technologies: Beaconless Wavefront Sensing and Adaptive Optics with Advanced Filtering, Prediction and Control".AbstractThe proposed research will develop advanced beaconless wavefront sensing and beam controlmethods for directed energy a"pplications with extended non-cooperative targets, in environmentsincluding deep turbulence, deep turbulence, aero optics and low s""ignal-to-noise ratios. Thesemethods will lead to smaller, lighter and simpler beam control hardware as compared to classicalbeam c"ontrol systems. The core innovation is beaconless wavefront sensing based on predictivedynamic digital holography.
