Abstract

In connection with the widespread use of optoelectronic systems, an overview of the development of adaptive optics is given as an effective means of eliminating the irregular distortions that occur when light propagates in an inhomogeneous medium using controlled optical elements. A description of this rapidly developing field of science and technology is presented. Many ideas developed in recent years have been expressed quite a long time ago, but only now, in connection with the creation of a modern element base of optical-electronic systems and devices, they are beginning to be introduced into the widest fields of science and technology. Many ideas developed in recent years have been expressed quite a long time ago, but only now, in connection with the creation of a modern element base of optical-electronic systems and devices, they are beginning to be introduced into the widest fields of science and technology. A retrospective analysis of the development of adaptive optics from ideas to embedded systems in astronomy, in research into the physics of high-power lasers, in medicine has been carried out. The present state of development of systems of adaptive optics in stellar and solar astronomy is presented, some results of their use in systems for the distortion correction of high-power laser systems and complexes are presented.
