We present what is to the best of our knowledge the first implementation of a trust region method for derivative-free optimization (TRDF) in a wavefront sensorless (WFSless) adaptive optics (AO) system. We compare the trust region method with the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm and stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate that the trust region method is superior to both the SA algorithm and SPGD algorithm with respect to convergence rates. These results indicate that the trust region method is a promising approach for correcting static or slowly changing wavefront aberrations in practical applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
