ABSTRACT:
An optical processing system for controlling a deformable mirror employs iterative constrained deconvolution of an actuator influence function with a set of optical representations of spatial impulse functions related to the settings of the actuators. An input optical beam is first transformed to a beam having a uniform phase amplitude proportional to the phase of the incoming beam at corresponding locations.
