Abstract
An adaptive optical apparatus includes a first deformable mirror that includes a reflecting surface reflecting light having propagated through an atmosphere, and a drive having a plurality of drive elements and changing an uneven shape of the reflecting surface. There is also a second deformable mirror that includes a reflecting surface reflecting the light from the first deformable mirror and a drive unit having a plurality of drive elements and changing an uneven shape of the reflecting surface. There is also an optical path splitting unit that splits the light from the second deformable mirror into a first optical path and a second optical path, a first sub-deformable mirror in the first optical path that includes a reflecting surface and a drive unit that correspond to the reflecting surface and the drive unit of the first deformable mirror, and a second sub-deformable mirror.
