Abstract

The possibility of compensating for small-scale wave-front distortions using a spatial light modulator which is optically controlled by the output beam of a Zernicke interferometer was studied theoretically. The optimal parameters of the system, requirements of its elements, the range of the compensated distortions, and the compensation quality are determined for the case of compensation for sinusoidal distortions. It is shown that this technique allows for the compensation of small-scale sinusoidal phase distortions with a depth of up to 3λ and a 20-fold gain in the Strehl number can be achieved.
