Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem of creation of high-accuracy anti-interference devices for astronomical observations is considered. The principle of construction of the mirror system of an adaptive telescope capable of correcting phase distortions of waves perceived by its mirror owing to the use of active reflecting coatings is developed. The processes in a parametrically activated nonlinear medium are mathematically modeled and the possibility of operation in a mode close to the total reflection is shown.
