A method of wavefront distortions correction for an atmospheric optical link with a small volume of information transmitted through a service channel

The paper describes a method of wavefront distortion correction in a turbulent atmosphere, which allows reducing the volume of information transmitted through a service channel. The correction is carried out with a transparency whose phase mask is calculated by a simple three-layer neural network by intensity distribution obtained at the photoreceiver. The architecture of the network is constructed so that the amount of data transferred over the service channel is reduced to 30 parameters, using which a corrective mask is then constructed.
