Prediction of atmospherically induced wave-front degradations

Abstract

Accurate prediction of the short-term future behavior of atmospherically distorted wave fronts would permit the elimination of delays inherent in current adaptive-optics systems. It is shown by using astronomical image data that atmospherically induced wave-front distortions as represented by time series of wave-front tips and tilts measured in the visible and piston values measured in the infrared are predictable to a degree that would be useful in an adaptive-optics system. Adaptive linear predictors as well as predictors based on the back-propagation neural network are employed in this study.
