Abstract:
The problem of choosing the optimal orthonormalized basis functions for the reconstruction of atmospheric aberrations from measurements is studied. A system of polynomials that makes it possible to decompose the aberrations for annular receiving apertures is proposed. It is shown that for a circular aperture the error in reproducing the wavefront with these polynomials is approximately 10% smaller than that obtained with Zernike polynomials.
