ABSTRACT:
An adaptive imaging telescope having nonlinear sensing means for detecting an optical beam received thereby. The system comprises a phase shifter, positioned at the aperture of the telescope, responsive to the optical beam. This system also includes a nonlinear image quality sensor, optically coupled to the phase shifter, comprisinng a photodetector plate responsive to the optical beam for converting the optical beam into an electrical signal. Analog circuits are provided to receive the sensor output and provide a closed-loop return to the phase shifter.
