Digital vs. Analog Comparison of Adaptive Optics Systems

摘要

This paper presents an equivalent discrete-time model that combines the D-A converter, DM, and WFS. The performance of the adaptive optics loop can then be evaluated in terms of the discrete-time (Z) closed-loop transfer functions of the feedback loop. The closed-loop transfer functions using this discrete-time model are compared to those obtained from an analog model. A simulation shows that the digital model produces accurate stability evaluations.
