An adaptive optical system is developed to correct the wavefront of laser radiation distorted by a turbulent air flow. The use of a field-programmable gate array as the main control element makes it possible to achieve a system bandwidth of 2 kHz. The results of experiments on dynamic correction of the phase of a laser beam distorted by a flow of heated air are presented and analysed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
