Numerical simulations of single conjugate adaptive optics systems

  • 1. ROR icon California Institute of Technology

Abstract

This paper presents a series of studies of single conjugate adaptive optics systems that use numerical simulation to investigate aspects of system performance not addressed by traditional statistical metrics. These studies include investigations of temporal control loop dynamics and quantitative comparisons of system performance using different types of reconstructors.
