Paper Abstract
Many devices are now being used in Adaptive Optics Systems for compensating atmospheric
distortions. We have developed a testbed that simulates atmospheric aberrations using a Liquid
Crystal Spatial Light Modulator and the speed in which they vary may be controlled. This system
allows the simulation of seeing conditions ranging from very poor to very good and these aberrations
to be compensated by a second device. This second device may be a deformable mirror in
conjunction with an Adaptive Optics System. Using these two devices simultaneously provides a
well-defined quantitative characterization of the system and residual wavefront error using Point
Spread Function and interferometric techniques.
