Abstract
Adaptive optics is a term that describes the use of a deformable mirror, a wavefront sensor, a wavefront processor, and a servo control mechanism to implement real-time closed loop control of an optical wavefront. A new generation of active optical components and adaptive techniques was achieved to correct the time-varying distortions in real time.
