Adaptive optics is the technology that best reduces atmospheric distortion. Adaptive optics systems are designed to compensate for the distortion caused by the Earth's atmosphere, which can blur the images obtained by telescopes and other optical devices. By actively adjusting the optics of the system in real time, adaptive optics can counteract the effects of atmospheric turbulence and produce sharper and more detailed images. While primary mirrors, objective lenses, and eyepieces all play important roles in optical systems, adaptive optics specifically targets atmospheric distortion reduction.
