description Wavefront distortion caused by atmospheric turbulence can be described as different types of aberrations, such as piston, tilt, defocusing, astigmatism, coma and so on. The operation of dual deformable mirrors can have mutual coupling effects, which affect the correction effect of wavefront distortion. This study combines a fast-steering mirror (FSM) and a deformable mirror (DM) to form a dual-deformable-mirrors wavefront correction system, and proposes a decoupling algorithm that can correct any specified aberration. In this decoupling algorithm, both the FSM and the DM are controlled using the mode method, and the specific corrected aberrations are obtained based on a limited matrix. The compensation ability of the DM is directly characterized by the mode coefficients of the aberrations, which can achieve independent correction of any order of aberrations and effectively reduce the coupling effect of the dual-deformable-mirrors wavefront correction system. An adaptive optical dual-deformable-mirrors wavefront correction system experiment was built to verify the decoupling algorithm. When the DM corrects the 3rd-, 10th-, and 25th-order aberrations, and the FSM only corrects the 1st- and 2nd-order aberrations, the coupling coefficients are approximately <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>1.17</mn><mo>×</mo><mn>1</mn><msup><mrow><mn>0</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>3</mn></mrow></msup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>1.814</mn><mo>×</mo><mn>1</mn><msup><mrow><mn>0</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>2</mn></mrow></msup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>7.81</mn><mo>×</mo><mn>1</mn><msup><mrow><mn>0</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>3</mn></mrow></msup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, respectively, and their magnitude reaches 10<sup>−2</sup> and below 10<sup>−2</sup>, respectively.
