Abstract

A survey of the development of adaptive optics, its methods, and tools for the elimination of irregular distortions appearing in the process of light propagation in an inhomogeneous medium is presented. Many ideas developed in recent years were put forward rather long ago; however, only now, owing to creation of state-of-the-art hardware components of optoelectronic systems and devices, they begin to be included in the widest fields of science and technology. The work also presents the current status of adaptive optics systems in solar astronomy, as well as some aspects of their use in systems correcting distortions of powerful laser systems. A retrospective analysis of investigations in the V.E. Zuev Institute of Atmospheric Optics in relation to adaptive optics is carried out.

大气光学研究所自适应光学工作的发展和成因的历史

摘要

本文介绍了自适应光学器件，其方法和工具的发展概况，以消除在不均匀介质中传播光的过程中出现的不规则畸变。几年前提出了许多新的想法；但是，直到现在，由于创建了光电系统和设备的最先进的硬件组件，它们才开始被包括在最广泛的科学和技术领域中。该工作还介绍了自适应光学系统在太阳天文学中的当前状况，以及它们在纠正强激光系统畸变的系统中的某些使用情况。对VE Zuev大气光学研究所有关自适应光学的研究进行了回顾性分析。
