Abstract
Optical aberrations that are due to high-speed turbulence in the aero- optical regime are corrected with optical phase conjugation based on c oherent population trapping in sodium vapor. Experimental measurements of an unheated, forced helium jet in air have demonstrated aberration correction by a factor of 7.8 at a forcing frequency of 18 kHz with a n optical power gain of 32.
