Abstract

This paper presents a linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) design based on the equivalent discrete-time model of an adaptive optics (AO) system. The design model incorporates deformable mirror dynamics, an asynchronous wavefront sensor and zero-order hold operation, and a continuous-time model of the incident wavefront. Using the structure of the discrete-time model, the dimensions of the Riccati equations to be solved are reduced. The LQG controller is shown to improve AO system performance under several conditions.
