    This study introduces a new, general formulation for astronomical adaptive optics, simplifying the correction of atmospheric turbulence. The research presents wave-front measurements as integral transform samples, aiding in adaptive correction strategies.

    Area of Science:

    • Astronomy and Astrophysics
    • Optical Engineering

    Background:

    • Astronomical adaptive optics (AO) systems correct for atmospheric turbulence.
    • Current AO formulations often rely on discretized models and specific configurations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a general, undiscretized formulation for astronomical adaptive optics.
    • To encompass arbitrary guide star sources and deformable mirror configurations.

    Main Methods:

    • Representing wave-front measurements as samples of an integral transform of turbulence.
    • Analyzing the properties of this transformed space for adaptive correction.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that wave-front measurements are samples of an integral transform.
