Applicability of small-size wavefront correctors to compensate for wavefront distortions in laser systems

摘要

As well known, the quality of radiation of laser beam is reduced during propagation along optical trace, because of various reasons (for example, atmospheric turbulence, scattering, thermal fluctuations etc.). We propose small-size deformable mirrors with high spatial resolution of control elements, that will allow to compensate for wavefront aberrations in wide range. Developed wavefront corrector could be used in different scientific areas: free-space communications, destruction of space debris, etc.
