Abstract
The optical scheme and technical characteristics are described of an experimental setup for atmospheric studies of a possibility of compensating for aberrations of the initial wavefront of an optical beam by the aperture sensing technique based on the signal of atmospheric backscatter of radiation from an additional laser source.
