ABSTRACT:
A high-resolution synthetic aperture, adaptive optics system includes an imaging system having a plurality of optical elements including at least a primary mirror which is a section of the aperture to be synthesized, and a detector for receiving the radiation collected by the primary mirror; and a device for rotating the primary mirror section through a number of angular positions about the aperture being synthesized to obtain a plurality of component images of an object, at least one from each of the positions; a device for sensing distortion of an incident wavefront; and a device responsive to distortions of the wavefront for locally adjusting at least one of the optical elements to correct distortions in the wavefront.
