Scientific paper

An effective multi-field wavefront control (WFC) approach is demonstrated for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) on-orbit optical telescope element (OTE) fine-phasing using wavefront measurements at the NIRCam pupil, and the optical and computational implications of this approach are discussed. The integration of a Kalman Filter as an optical state estimator into the JWST wavefront control process to further improve the robustness of the fine-phasing JWST OTE alignment will also be discussed. Through a comparison of WFC performances between the JWST on-orbit and ground-test optical system configurations, the connection (and a possible disconnection) between WFC and optical system alignment under these circumstances are analyzed. Our MACOS-based [2] computer simulation results will be presented and discussed.
