Local ensemble transform Kalman filter, a fast non-stationary control
law for adaptive optics on ELTs: theoretical aspects and first simulation
results
We propose a new algorithm for an adaptive optics system control law, based
on the Linear Quadratic Gaussian approach and a Kalman Filter adaptation with
localizations. It allows to handle non-stationary behaviors, to obtain
performance close to the optimality defined with the residual phase variance
minimization criterion, and to reduce the computational burden with an
intrinsically parallel implementation on the Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs).Comment: This paper was published in Optics Express and is made available as
