In connection with the wide use of optoelectronic systems, we review the development of adaptive optics as an effective tool that allows using controllable optical elements to eliminate irregular distortions that occur as light propagates in an inhomogeneous medium. The subject matter of this rapidly developing field of science and technology is described. Of the ideas under development in recent years, many have been around for quite a long time, but it is only now, with the development of an up-to-date optoelectronic element base, that they have started being widely incorporated into science and engineering practice. We discuss the development of adaptive optics from mere ideas to their application in astronomy, high-power laser physics, and medicine. The current state of adaptive optics in stellar and solar astronomy is reviewed, and some results of its use in distortion correction systems of high-power laser systems and facilities are presented.
