Abstract: A phase difference measuring device is provided with a phase conversion device and a detection device. The phase conversion device converts a first laser beam that passes therethrough so that the first laser beam includes a phase distribution of one cycle in an azimuth direction in a cross section of the first laser beam included in an arbitrary virtual plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the first laser beam. The detection device detects an azimuth angle of an intensity centroid of an interference pattern generated by at least a part of a first laser beam that has passed through the phase conversion device, and a part of a second laser beam that derives from a laser beam as seed light from which the first laser beam derives, of which an optical intensity is same as the at least a part of the first laser beam, and detects an inter-beam phase difference of the second laser beam.

Abstract: A transmission type adaptive optical system that can be applied to a high power laser beam beyond a limit of deformable mirrors and corrects wavefront turbulence of a laser beam with adaptation to the wavefront turbulence is provided. By using a transmission type adaptive optical element of which a refractive index distribution changes based on temperature distribution thereof, a wavefront turbulence of a laser beam is corrected with adaptation to this wavefront turbulence. The wavefront turbulence is detected by a wavefront sensor and heating light in accordance with the detected wavefront turbulence is emitted to irradiate the transmission type adaptive optical element. The transmission type adaptive optical element transmits a laser beam as a target to correct a wavefront turbulence thereof and generates temperature distribution by the heating light and as a result generates the refractive index distribution.

Abstract: A threat coping system (10) is provided with a threat coping device (300) that copes with a coping target (30) and a control device (200) that controls the threat coping device. The control device (200) is provided with a no-coping area setting means (514) and a coping instruction means (526). The no-coping area setting means (514) sets a no-coping area (12) based on information of a no-coping target that is not to cope with. The coping instruction means (526) generates an instruction signal, that instructs the threat coping device to cope a coping target, based on the no-coping area.
