Abstract
Abstract
Most adaptive optical systems are based on a least-squares fit algorithm to optimize performance, and generally do not adequately address stability or uncertainty in the system. This paper describes the implementation of an H-infinity controller for an adaptive optical system, in order to optimize the closed-loop stability of the system.
