In this paper we experimentally demonstrate the proof of concept for predictive control of thermally induced wavefront aberrations in optical systems. On the basis of the model of thermally induced wavefront aberrations and using only past wavefront measurements, the proposed adaptive optics controller is able to predict and to compensate the future aberrations. Furthermore, the proposed controller is able to correct wavefront aberrations even when some parameters of the prediction model are unknown. The proposed control strategy can be used in high power optical systems, such as optical lithography machines, where the predictive correction of thermally induced wavefront aberrations is a crucial issue.
