Abstract. An overview of the current state of the design and construction processes of the three ground-based extremely large telescopes – the European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), and the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) – is presented. Operation of the telescopes is impossible without adaptive optics systems. Modern technologies for the use of adaptive optical systems to be included in the optoelectronic complexes of extremely large telescopes, are considered.
Keywords: extremely large telescopes, optical telescopes, ELT, TMT, GMT, aperture diameter, anisoplanatism, phase correction, adaptive optics, laser reference stars, multi-coupled AOS, surface layer AOS, multi-object AOS
