Possibilities for correcting aberrations of imaging laser systems by phase conjugation

The reported method of using phase conjugation to correct distortions induced by projection optics was realized experimentally. In particular, the method was used on a low-quality 50-cm-diameter objective mirror to form laser radiation with a near diffraction-limited beam divergence of 2.4 × 10(-6)...

Description
Summary:The reported method of using phase conjugation to correct distortions induced by projection optics was realized experimentally. In particular, the method was used on a low-quality 50-cm-diameter objective mirror to form laser radiation with a near diffraction-limited beam divergence of 2.4 × 10(-6) rad. The method could be applied to high-resolution imaging of objects in coherent light.
