In this work we propose an optimal modal decomposition technique for gradient-based wavefront sensorless adaptive optics. We implement statistically independent Karhunen-Loeve functions for iterative blind correction and analyze their optimal correction performance in static turbulence conditions.enwavefront sensorless adaptive opticsKarhunen-Loeve decomposition004670conference paper
