BEAM CONTROL IN SYNTHETIC APERTURE SYSTEMS

In this paper, we discuss concepts of beam control in optical synthetic aperture systems in vacuum. The physical models for phase controls of wavefront in transmitters are given. Computations have been made for the models and the results are in agreement with the analysis. The results are also shown in three dimentional figures. The effects of piston and tilt errors on the performance of the synthetic aperture systems are discussed and the computation are also given.
