Abstract

We present a laboratory demonstration of open loop Off-Axis Adaptive Optics with optimal control. The control based on a Minimum Mean Square Error Estimator brings a noticeable performance improvement. The next step will be to close the Off-Axis Adaptive Optics loop with a Kalman based optimal control. While this last experiment is currently under progress, a classic Adaptive Optics loop has already been closed recently with a Kalman based control and experimental results are presented. We also describe the expectable performance of the Kalman based off-axis closed loop thanks to an end-to-end simulator. Last minute notice: the Kalman based Off-Axis Adaptive Optics loop has been closed and very first results are given.
