Many current wave-front-reconstruction systems use localized phase-slope measurements to estimate wave fronts distorted by atmospheric turbulence. Analytical expressions giving the performance of this class of adaptive-optics system are derived. Performance measures include the mean-square residual phase error across the aperture, the optical transfer function, the point-spread function, and the Strehl ratio. For adaptive telescopes using laser guide stars, these measures can be used to determine the key design parameters for the laser.
