A series of Fourier modes was used to test the VMM and FTR. The rms error from 0 to 2 cycles per aperture is calculated for each mode for the original signal and the two reconstructions. The VMM consistently has more low-order error than the input signal, likely caused by aliasing in the down-sampling from the 20 × 20 WFS measurement to the 12 × 12 MEMS array. If the wavefront is filtered to remove high-order errors prior to reconstruction the VMM reconstructor does not introduce additional low-order error.
