We have tested two novel wavefront reconstruction algorithms, CuReD an d HWR, using CANARY. We performed tests using telescope simulator and “on sky”, using William Herschel Telescope. Both CuReD and HWR ran successfully in closed loop. We compare d their performance with the performance of the traditional wavefront reconstruction (MVM) by me asuring the Strehl ratio. The Strehl ratio obtained with CuReD is at least as high as the one of MVM.
