Abstract
The action of an acoustic field on a nonisothermal gaseous medium for the purpose of improving the optical characteristics of the medium is studied. Restoration of optical uniformity of the gas and stabilization of the wavefront of a laser beam were modelled in experiments with acoustic flows.
