Abstract

In this paper, we briefly describe the principle of analytical modelization of the adaptive optics (AO) corrected point spread function in the spatial frequency domain, both for the turbulent and the telescope static aberrations, and demonstrate how this can be used for simulating AO corrected phase screens on extremely large hexagonal segmented telescopes, required for performance analysis of diffraction limited coronagraphs.
