Large-numerical-aperture imaging bypass system with dynamic holographic correction for primary mirror distortions

Large numerical aperture telescope with nonlinear optical correction for distortions, designed for the remote self- luminous object imaging, was realized in experiment and investigate. Dynamic hologram, recorded in optically addressed liquid crystal spatial light modulator, was used as the corrector. Nearly diffraction limited performance of the system was demonstrated.
