    Abstract

    One of the critical considerations for large telescopes is primary mirror distortions caused by wind load. In thin-mirror active optic systems such as Subaru Telescope, the fixed-point Force Feedback (FFB) algorithm is used to suppress wind load. The concept of pressure mode is brought up and the majority information of distortions caused by wind is extracted. The FFB algorithm based on pressure mode is studied and the following conclusions are drawn: aberrations caused by wind consist mainly of piston, tilt, astigmatism and defocus; with equal coefficients pressure modes of piston and tilts produce larger aberrations and push more forces on fixed points; the FFB algorithm based on pressure mode can suppress mirror deformations introduced by wind.
