A novel algorithm of compensation for repetitively-pulsed laser beam wandering at propagation paths, caused by the atmospheric turbulence and mirror vibrations has been proposed and verified in experiments with a TE-C02 laser. The algorithm is based on the precise temporal control of triggering each of the TB-laser pulses at the moments when the auxiliary probe cw-laser beam modified by a modal-type adaptive optics system and having exactly the same wavefront profile, as the pulsed radiation, hits the remote object (retroreflector in the pre-set point at the path exit) by its brightest speckle.
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.
