Since the year 2000, adaptive optics (AO) has seen the emergence of a variety of new
concepts addressing particular science needs; multiconjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) is …

Adaptive optics provides real time correction of wavefront disturbances on ground based
telescopes. Optimizing control and performance is a key issue for ever more demanding …

Atmospheric wavefront prediction based on previous wavefront sensor measurements can
greatly enhance the performance of adaptive optics systems. We propose an optimal linear …

We use the spatio-temporal cross-correlations of slopes from five Shack–Hartmann
wavefront sensors to analyse the temporal evolution of the atmospheric turbulence layers at …

Multi-object astronomical adaptive optics (MOAO) is now a mature wide-field observation
mode to enlarge the adaptive-optics-corrected field in a few specific locations over tens of …

In the framework of adaptive optics (AO) for astronomy, it is a common assumption to
consider the atmospheric turbulent layers as “frozen flows” sliding according to the wind …

This paper presents a model-based approach to adaptive optics (AO) control based on a
zonal (ie, pixelized) representation of the incoming atmospheric turbulence. Describing the …

Adaptive optics (AO) systems correct optical phase aberrations of the incoming light
generated by the atmosphere. To do so simultaneous estimators of the atmospheric …

The aim of this paper is to provide a new observer structure able to deal with the distributed
estimation of a discrete-time linear system from a network of agents. The main result is an …

AO optimal control relies centrally on a stochastic model of the turbulence. Models based on
both Cn2 spatial priors and temporal dynamics have been used for LQG control for both …
