Vp. Lukin et Bv. Fortes, THE INFLUENCE OF WAVE-FRONT DISLOCATIONS ON PHASE-CONJUGATION INSTABILITY WITH THERMAL-BLOOMING COMPENSATION, Pure and applied optics, 6(1), 1997, pp. 103-116
This paper is devoted to the application of the phase conjugation meth
od to thermal blooming compensation. Analysis of the numerical experim
ental data has shown that the appearance of continuous auto-oscillatio
ns in adaptive systems is connected with the occurrence of dislocation
s in the reference beam. The use of the Hartmann sensor with low spati
al resolution and modal estimation of the phase results in smoothing o
f the phase estimate and damps the AOS oscillations.
