Abstract
Résumé

In this article, we describe the different methods to simulate Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) systems. First, analytical (error-budget type) and semi-analytical (Fourier) methods are described. We then describe the different modules required to make end-to-end (Monte Carlo) simulations of these systems. Finally, we present some of the computational challenges associated with the simulation of MCAO on Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs).

Dans cet article, nous décrivons les différentes méthodes pour simuler des systèmes d'optique adaptative (multi-conjuguée, MCAO). Tout d'abord, nous présentons les méthodes analytiques (budgets d'erreur) et semi-analytiques (Fourier). Nous décrivons ensuite les différents modules nécessaires au développement d'une simulation complète (Monte Carlo) d'un tel système. Enfin, nous aborderons les problèmes lié à la simulation de la MCAO sur les télescopes extrèmement grands (ELTs).
