Active image restoration with a flexible mirror
Abstract
The 30 by 5 cm aperture telescope described uses six moveable mirrors to compensate for phase distortions induced by the atmosphere. A feedback system is used to adjust the mirrors in real time to maximize the intensity of light passing through a narrow slit in the image plane. Using the telescope, diffraction-limited images of objects were obtained, using both laser and white light, through 250 meters of turbulent atmosphere.
