This research projects develops an integrated approach of optimization of overall image quality, in which the actions of a deformable mirror and a post-facto reconstruction algorithm are combined. The optimized approach will use the wavefront sensor signal data and deformable mirror signal data as input to post-facto reconstruction, introduce known phase aberrations during the real-time correction with the AO system to improve the performance of the post-facto reconstruction, and the wavefront aberration information deduced by post-facto reconstruction will be fed back into the adaptive optics system.
