Abstract

The wavefront of laser light as it propagates through a medium is controlled so that not only the inherent aberrations in the wavefront of the laser light itself but also the aberrations that are progressively caused by passage of laser light through the medium are effectively corrected to achieve long-distance propagation of the laser light through the medium.
