Modal control of a surface reflector in the context of a statistical model of an adaptive mirror
Abstract
Taranenko's (1984) statistical model for adaptive mirrors is extended to mirrors with modal control of the surface. Formulas are obtained wich can be used to assess the efficiency of the application of the modal control of an adaptive mirror to random phase perturbations. These formulas can also be used to calculate the number of trapped modes during the compensation of fluctuations having different statistical characteristics.
