Fast reconstruction and prediction of frozen flow turbulence based on structured Kalman filtering

Efficient and optimal prediction of frozen flow turbulence using the complete observation history of the wavefront sensor is an important issue in adaptive optics for large ground-based telescopes. At least for the sake of error budgeting and algorithm performance, the evaluation of an accurate estimate of the optimal performance of a particular...

Exploiting the spatiotemporal correlation in adaptive optics using data-driven H2-optimal control

A recently proposed data-driven H2-optimal control approach is demonstrated on a laboratory setup. Most adaptive optics (AO) systems are based on a control law that neglects the temporal evolution of the wavefront. The proposed control approach is able to exploit the spatiotemporal correlation in the wavefront without assuming any form of...
