Abstract

The quality of adaptive suppression of initial aberrations of the wave front of a main laser beam with the use of the method of aperture sensing by the signal of atmospheric backscattering of the additional (sensing) laser radiation at a different wavelength has been studied experimentally. It is shown that wavefront distortions of the main laser beam were decreased significantly during the setup operation.
