Least-squares fitting of Hartmann or Shack-Hartmann data with a circular array of sampling points.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A least-squares procedure to find the tilts, curvature, astigmatism, coma, and triangular astigmatism by means of measurements of the transverse aberrations using a Hartmann or Shack-Hartmann test is described. The sampling points are distributed in a ring centered on the pupil of the optical system. The properties and characteristics of rings with three, four, five, six, or more sampling points are analyzed with more detail and better mathematical analysis than in previous publications.

Study of a MEMS-based Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor with adjustable pupil sampling for astronomical adaptive optics.
We introduce a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor for adaptive optics that enables dynamic control of the spatial sampling of an incoming wavefront using a segmented mirror microelectrical mechanical systems (MEMS) device. Unlike a conventional lenslet array, subapertures are defined by either segments or groups of segments of a mirror array, with the ability to change spatial pupil sampling arbit...
متن کاملShack-Hartmann sensor improvement using optical binning.
We present a design improvement for a recently proposed type of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor that uses a cylindrical (lenticular) lenslet array. The improved sensor design uses optical binning and requires significantly fewer detector pixels than the corresponding conventional or cylindrical Shack-Hartmann sensor, and so detector readout noise causes less signal degradation. Additionally, de...
متن کاملBranch point detection and correction using the branch point potential method
Branch points have been shown to cause problems for adaptive optics (AO) systems which attempt to correct for atmospheric distortion over mid-to-long range horizontal paths. Where branch points (or singularities) occur, the phase of the optical wavefront is undefined and cannot be reconstructed by conventional wavefront reconstruction techniques. Branch points occur in pairs of opposite sign (o...
متن کاملExperimental detection of optical vortices with a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor.
Laboratory experiments are carried out to detect optical vortices in conditions typical of those experienced when a laser beam is propagated through the atmosphere. A Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) is used to mimic atmospheric turbulence and a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor is utilised to measure the slopes of the wavefront surface. A matched filter algorithm determines the positions of the Sha...
متن کاملAdvanced Methods for Improving the Efficiency of a Shack Hartmann Wavefront Sensor
Wavefront sensor is a device that measures the optical wavefront aberration. The Shack Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWS), named after Johannes Franz Hartmann and Roland Shack, is one of the most often used optical wavefront sensor. It is made up of an array of microlenses (all having the same focal length and aperture size) and a detector placed at the focal plane of these microlenses. Johannes ...
