Adaptive Optics Systems with Stochastic Parallel Analog Optimization Based on Ground-to-Air Semiconductor Laser Communication Systems

摘要

Wave-front distortion compensation using system performance metric optimization applied to ground-to-air semiconductor laser communication system is explored theoretically and experimentally. There are two fundamental ways in adaptive optics between two wave-front controls, one approach, known as wave-front conjugation, is based on the reciprocity principle. The second approach, which is the primary subject of this paper, is wave-front control using direct system performance metric optimization.
