Abstract

This paper describes an approach for computing the illumnator power requirements of an active return wave adaptive optics system such as would be used in a long-range laser system. The illuminator power is related to the number of degrees of freedom in the adaptive optics (e.g., number of subapertures) and to the laser system beam quality requirements.
