We describe the implementation of realistic, adaptive wavefront correction in high-brightness beamline simulations to study the correction of thermal deformation. Several planned soft x-ray and tender x-ray insertion-device beamlines in the Advanced Light Source upgrade, where wavefront preservation is paramount, rely on a common design principle.After studying the performance of a 20-channel adaptive x-ray mirror prototype, at-wavelength and with visible-light, we implemented mirror shape-control algorithms in software that are designed to restore and optimize the focused beam intensity (i.e. Strehl ratio), considering the incident wavefront’s phase and amplitude. We implemented the modeling in OASYS which is an adaptable, customizable beamline modeling platform well suited to study this issue.
