DOI: DOI: 10.1117/3.549261Online resources: Additional physical formats: Also available in print version.Summary: This is a summary of the methods for determining the requirements of an adaptive optics system, the performance of the system, and the requirements for the components of the system. Many of the expressions are in the form of integrals. When that is the case, the authors show the results graphically for a variety of practical values. This volume is intended for students, researchers, and practicing engineers who want a ""go to"" book when the calculation is needed quicklySummary: Actuator and wavefront sensor layouts -- Actuators, requirements for zonal or modal control -- Deformable mirror influence function models -- Bimorph and MEMS mirrors -- Segmented deformable mirrors -- Control and reconstruction -- Adaptive optics system control model -- Reconstructor -- Wavefront control -- Influence matrix -- Kalman filtering and wavefront estimation -- Computational latency -- Predictor -- Effect of sampling rate on achievable bandwidth -- -- Hartmann sensing software implementation -- Appendix.
