Abstract

ABSTRACT Most adaptive optics systems (AO) are based on a simple control law that is unable to account for the temporalevolution of the wavefront. In this paper, a recently proposed data-driven H 2 -optimal control approach isdemonstrated on an AO laboratory setup. The proposed control approach does not assume any form of decouplingand can therefore exploit the spatio-temporal correlation in the wavefront. The performance of the optimalcontrol approach is compared with a conventional method. An analysis of the dominant error sources shows thatthe optimal control approach leads to a signi“cant reduction in the temporal error. Since the temporal errorgrows with the Greenwood to sampling frequency ratio, the performance gain is especially large at large ratios.Keywords: Adaptive optics, H 2 -optimal control, spatial-temporal correlation, data-driven disturbance modeling 1.
