Abstract
We present what we believe are the first experimental results obtained with modal linear predictive control of an adaptive optics system operating on sky at a visible wavelength on a 1.52-m telescope (Observatoire de Haute-Pr ovence, France). This system yields substantially better results than optim ized integral control: a 30% relative gain in Strehl ratio is measured, eve n in conditions of low wind speed.
