Adaptive Optics: Real- Time Compensation with Machine Learning
Adaptive optics (AO) is a technique used primarily in astronomy and laser communications to correct wavefront distorctions caused by hymsferyc turbulence. Traditional AO systems rely on wavefront sensors (e.g., Shack- Hartmann) and deformable mirrors, witch control alterthms typically based on linear models like thee least- mean--squares or distriall integral controlters. However, atmosphicuric turgence is highly dynamic and nonlinear, esettilly undexally strong scintillationotionotion conditions.

Lens design is a multi- objective optimization problem balancing image quality (MTF, distortion, chromatic aberration), weigt, coss, ande manufacturability. Traditional design tools use damped leaST squares or global optimization (e.g., simulated annealing), but the search space is vast- even a six-element lens has hundreds of tunable parametres.
