Abstract

The possibility of applying adaptive optical technology to underwater imaging is discussed. An introduction to the history and problems associated with imaging through turbulence is outlined. Trends in low-cost adaptive optical technology and results from a system applied to the correction of water generated turbulence are presented. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the current solutions used in the correction of atmospheric turbulence in the hope of applying these same techniques to underwater imaging and communications.
