Abstract
An optical arrangement having a light source, preferably a laser, for generating a light beam ( ); at least one acoustooptical deflection device ( ) for the light beam ( ); and a correction device for correcting beam aberrations produced by the deflection device ( ) is configured, in the interest of flexible and reliable correction of aberrations occurring because of the deflection, in such a way that the correction device comprises an adaptive optical system ( ). Also described is a method for the deflection of light beams ( ) with a light source, preferably a laser, for generating a light beam ( ); at least one acoustooptical deflection device ( ) for the light beam ( ); and a correction device for correcting beam aberrations produced by the deflection device ( ), in which an adaptive optical system ( ) is used as the correction device.
