Novel techniques of wavefront sensing for adaptive optics with array telescopes using an artificial neural network.
Atmospheric turbulence causes severe degradation of the resolving and signal-to-noise properties of present optical telescopes. Diffraction-limited resolution can be recovered through the use of a deformable ('adaptive') optical element to correct the atmospheric wavefront error. An adapti...
