title: Wave-front correction from point spread function data.
abstract: A distorted wave front is estimated from the intensity distribution on a focal plane. The information of the estimated wave front is used to control an adaptive mirror that corrects an atmospherically distorted wave front. A new approach to correct a distorted wave front is proposed. Several computer simulations confirm that a distorted wave front can be corrected from the information of the intensity distribution on a focal plane.
