Abstract
Real time, computer controlled optical elements are of great importance in the correction of aberrations in optical systems such as large telescopes [1] and in optical testing applications. Adaptive optics systems currently use deformable mirror devices and addressable liquid crystal retarders as wavefront correctors. Liquid crystal televisions provide a low cost, readily accessible alternative to these devices. As the technology of liquid crystal devices improves, the possibility of real time correction is emerging.
