Abstract

We describe a computer simulation of an adaptive optics system employing a nematic liquid crystal based wavefront corrector. In some previous works we studied ”static” performance of this system considering only spatial characteristics of atmospheric turbulence. In order to evaluate more properly the performance of this system we have taken into account the temporal characteristic of degraded wavefront and the feedback loop controlling the actuators of the wavefront corrector.
