Since the problem of aero-optics is raised by Gilbert in 1982, the studies of theoretical and experimental indicate: the performance of airborne/missileborne laser energy system and laser information system is seriously reduced by aero-optical aberration. However, the limited bandwidth of feedback control adaptive optics system is not satisfied with the requirement of the high frequency aero-optical aberration realtime correction. Milestone works such as aero-optical mechanism, measurement and correction are reviewed. The objective of the paper is providing the theoretical and technical references for the aero-optical researchers.
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.
