                                    The Uplink Wavefront Corrector System (UWCS) has been conceived by
following the premises from simulation outcomes as a pathfinder
instrument to demonstrate Adaptive Optics uplink correction in both
applications: Free-Space Optical Communications and self-propagating
path of Laser Guide Stars. Preliminary design and expected performance
have been analysed via simulations in previous studies. Current
activities focus on the turbulence measurement on the launch axis itself
by using pulsed or modulated lasers and a pulse-synchronized
Shack-Hartmann as wavefront sensor. Present paper describes the test
bench it has been built in the Instituto de Astrofısica de
Canarias (IAC) to experimentally demonstrate the uplink correction and
its advantages.
