GENERAL INFORMATION
Adaptive Beaming and Imaging in the Turbulent Atmosphere
)
Description
Due to the wide application of adaptive optical systems, an understanding of optical wave propagation in randomly inhomogeneous media has become essential, and several numerical models of individual AOS components and of efficient correction algorithms have been developed. This monograph contains detailed descriptions of the mathematical experiments that were designed and carried out during more than a decade's worth of research.
Keywords: adaptive optics, atmospheric optics, random media, beam propagation, turbulence, laser guide star, numerical model, adaptive imaging

Excerpt
This monograph is presented by two authors working at the Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Siberia, Russian Academy of Sciences (Tomsk, Russia). It is an overview of our results reported in recent years (up to 1999).
Specialists know that now it is practically impossible to write a book that thoroughly reviews the state of the art in adaptive optics because of the rapid advances in this field. Therefore, in this book we omit such a review and only give the necessary references to original papers (as of 1998, the year this book was written in Russian). We apologize to those authors whose papers were undeservedly ignored and not cited.
This book does not pretend to be a generalization of the most recent results. It is more like a compendium of results and ideas the authors followed when developing this particular area of modern optics. These days, the world community has developed approaches and concepts different from those presented in this book, and they have the right to their own existence and development as well.
With due respect for our readers,
