Estimation and Control in Multidither Adaptive Optics.

Abstract

This paper develops optimal statistical estimation formulation for multidither adaptive optics control loops which potentially can enhance stable beam control performance in the presence of spurious signal like noise. A multidither autofocus example is chosen to compare estimated assisted and conventional adaptive optical performance in the presence of speckle generated noise. (Author)
