Robust control of a bimorph mirror for adaptive optics system [PDF]
We apply robust control technics to an adaptive optics system including a dynamic model of the deformable mirror. The dynamic model of the mirror is a modification of the usual plate equation. We propose also a state-space approach to model the turbulent

A Study on a Single Continuous Deformable Mirror for Correction of Atmospheric Disturbance [PDF]
The deformable mirror is the main component of the adaptive optical imaging system, which removes the atmospheric disturbance and acquires the target image without any loss and the beam transmission system, which transmits the laser beam to a long ...

NFIRAOS First Facility AO System for the Thirty Meter Telescope [PDF]
NFIRAOS, the Thirty Meter Telescope's first adaptive optics system is an order 60x60 Multi-Conjugate AO system with two deformable mirrors. Although most observing will use 6 laser guide stars, it also has an NGS-only mode. Uniquely, NFIRAOS is cooled to

Large-scale wave-front reconstruction for adaptive optics systems by use of a recursive filtering algorithm [PDF]
We propose a new recursive filtering algorithm for wave-front reconstruction in a large-scale adaptive optics system. An embedding step is used in this recursive filtering algorithm to permit fast methods to be used for wave-front reconstruction on an ...

Optimization of Iterative Control Algorithms for High-Resolution Adaptive Optics Systems
As the number of wavefront sensor subapertures and deformable mirror actuators in adaptive optics systems increases, the computational time of the direct gradient wavefront control algorithm is excessively long, which is a major factor affecting the ...

Real-time turbulence profiling with a pair of laser guide star Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensors for wide-field adaptive optics systems on large to extremely large telescopes [PDF]
Real-time turbulence profiling is necessary to tune tomographic wavefront reconstruction algorithms for wide-field adaptive optics (AO) systems on large to extremely large telescopes, and to perform a variety of image post-processing tasks involving ...
