Large field of view wavefront correction with deformable lenses

Long distance imaging and free space optical communications are largely affected by atmospheric turbulence. To attenuate turbulence effects, Adaptive Optics (AO) has been the main answer and, in the case of large FOV Multi Conjugate AO (MCAO) using two deformable mirrors (DM) has been proven to be an effective solution [1]. We present a study and some preliminary results on the use of a stack of Adaptive Lenses (AL) in a MCAO setup with the main advantage of compactness end easiness of installation.
