Proceedings ArticleDOI
Control of a deformable mirror subject to structural disturbance
TL;DR: In this paper, a wavefront control method for the Naval Postgraduate School adaptive optics testbed is developed to remove structural noise from the flexible optical surface using discrete time proportional integral control with second order filters.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Cost-effective Large Apertures for Future Imaging Satellites
TL;DR: Four viable cost-effective approaches for large aperture space imaging are discussed and the use of segmented mirrors and a deformable mirror for reduced surface requirements are discussed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Correction of active space telescope mirror using woofer-tweeter adaptive optics
TL;DR: In this paper, a deformable mirror is added at the SMT pupil plane to improve the residual surface errors after a correction is applied, and a global influence matrix and closed loop constrained least squares controller are used to command the active segment and additional deformed mirror as a single device.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correction of an active space telescope mirror using a deformable mirror in a woofer-tweeter configuration
TL;DR: In this article, a deformable mirror is added to the segmented mirror telescope (SMT) to address the unintended shortfall of the developmental mirrors, and a wavefront control technique is proposed using a global influence matrix and closed-loop constrained minimization controller.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Correction of an active space telescope mirror using a gradient approach and an additional deformable mirror
TL;DR: In this article, a closed loop feedback gradient controller is proposed to actively control a SMT active segment and an additional deformable mirror to reduce residual wavefront error, and simulations and experimental results show that the gradient controller reduces the residual surface figure error more than an integral controller.
