Overview of the control strategies for the TMT alignment and phasing system
2011
In this paper we present the current status of control algorithm development for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) Alignment
and Phasing System (APS).We discuss ways to address the main challenges inherent in the active control of extremely
large segmented telescopes: high complexity of the control problem, disentangling the aberrations on the primary, secondary
and tertiary mirrors, and the tight requirements for residual errors. We also present preliminary APS performance
estimates derived from simulations. In particular, our simulations show that the tomographic aberration disentanglement is
only marginally useful for TMT alignment.
