Abstract :
We describe multi-dither adaptive optical system based on Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. RMS of the wavefront is minimized to get the best correction of the aberrated laser beam. Hill-climbing algorithm is used to determine voltages to be applied to the electrodes of a bimorph mirror which is used as a wavefront corrector.
