Correction performance of an adaptive optics (AO) system is severely limited by its system latency under high temporal frequency distortions. Wavefront prediction methods has been proven to be an effective way to compensate system delay.

Surface Measurement Using Compressed Wavefront Sensing
Compressed sensing leverages the sparsity of signals to reduce the amount of measurements required for its reconstruction. The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor meanwhile is a flexible sensor where its sensitivity and dynamic range can be adjusted based on

A method to detect the atmospheric turbulent layers using a single Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor is discussed. In order to determine the height distribution of the atmospheric turbulence above a telescope, we register the wavefront distortions at ...

Study of a MEMS-based Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor with adjustable pupil sampling for astronomical adaptive optics [PDF]
We introduce a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor for adaptive optics that enables dynamic control of the spatial sampling of an incoming wavefront using a segmented mirror microelectrical mechanical systems (MEMS) device.

Highly Stable Spatio-Temporal Prediction Network of Wavefront Sensor Slopes in Adaptive Optics
Adaptive Optics (AO) technology is an effective means to compensate for wavefront distortion, but its inherent delay error will cause the compensation wavefront on the deformable mirror (DM) to lag behind the changes in the distorted wavefront ...

Expanded Scene Image Preprocessing Method for the Shack–Hartmann Wavefront Sensor
Due to the influence of atmospheric turbulence, the detector, and background noise, the subaperture image of an extended scene Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor will have a low signal-to-noise ratio, which will introduce errors to the offset estimation and

Atmospheric turbulence causes refractive index fluctuations, which in turn introduce extra distortions to the wavefront of the propagated radiation. It ultimately degrades telescope resolution (in imaging applications) and reduces radiation power density

Multiple guide star tomography demonstration at Palomar observatory [PDF]
We have built and field tested a multiple guide star tomograph with four Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors. We predict the wavefront on the fourth sensor channel estimated using wavefront information from the other three channels using synchronously ...
