A closed loop compensation system including a deformable mirror including an array of spaced actuators. An array of spaced sensors is mapped in optical space to reside between pairs of actuators. A lens system receives a wavefront from the deformable mirror and focuses sub-apertures of the wavefront onto individual ones of the spaced sensors. A sequencer addresses each actuator and associated sensor in the arrays. A compute unit is configured to respond to the sequencer to set a first actuator to an adjusted stroke position and then adjust the stroke of subsequent actuators to locate, to a pre-established position, the focused sub-aperture on a sensor in the pathway between each particular subsequent actuator and a neighboring previously adjusted portion of the mirror to compensate for sub-aperture tilt while maintaining relative phase between sub-apertures.
