Abstract

Least squares, complex-exponential, and post-processing congruence operation reconstructors are compared for closed-loop adaptive optics in temporally evolving strong turbulence. Utilizing a self-referencing interferometer, an average improvement of 120% is seen over traditional least-squares.
