Abstract
A program has been developed which calculates optical path length
and phase distortion arising from the density field surrounding a
laser turret. Further, the program finds the optimum turret shape
yielding minimum phase distortion. The aerodynamic model is briefly
described; however, the optimization and control codes are thoroughly
presented. Sample data input and sample output are given. The
program is listed. The material is presented in detail so that this report constitutes a user's manual.
