Adaptive optics; Proceedings of the Meeting, Arlington, VA, April 10, 11, 1985
Papers are presented on the directed energy program for ballistic missile defense, a self-referencing wavefront interferometer for laser sources, the effects of mirror grating distortions on diffraction spots at wavefront sensors, and the optical design of an all-reflecting, high-resolution camera for active-optics on ground-based telescopes. Also considered are transverse coherence length observations, time dependent statistics of upper atmosphere optical turbulence, high altitude acoustic soundings, and the Cramer-Rao lower bound on wavefront sensor error. Other topics include wavefront reconstruction from noisy slope or difference data using the discrete Fourier transform, acoustooptic adaptive signal processing, the recording of phase deformations on a PLZT wafer for holographic and spatial light modulator applications, and an optical phase reconstructor using a multiplier-accumulator approach. Papers are also presented on an integrated optics wavefront measurement sensor, a new optical preprocessor for automatic vision systems, a model for predicting infrared atmospheric emission fluctuations, and optical logic gates and flip-flops based on polarization-bistable semiconductor lasers.
