Wave-front sensing with a sampling field sensor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new type of optical wave-front sensor: the sampling field sensor (SFS). The SFS attempts to solve the problem of real-time optical phase detection. It has a high space-bandwidth product and can be made compact and vibration insensitive. We describe a particular implementation of this sensor and compare it, through numerical simulations, with a more mature technique based on the Shack-Hartmann wave-front sensor. We also present experimental results for SFS phase estimation. Finally, we discuss the advantages and drawbacks of this SFS implementation and suggest alternative implementations.

TiO2 based surface acoustic wave gas sensor with modified electrode dimensions for enhanced H2 sensing application
The design and optimization of nanostructure-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensor is analyzed based on TiO2 sensing layer and modified electrode dimensions. The sensitivity of the gas sensor depends upon the type of sensing layer used and active surface area obtained by varying the aspect ratio. The performance of the sensor is observed from 0.1ppm to 100ppm concentration of ...
متن کاملAnti-aliasing wave-front reconstruction with Shack-Hartmann sensors
The discrete sampling of a wave-front using a Shack-Hartmann sensor limits the maximum spatial frequency we can measure and impacts sensitivity to frequencies at the high end of the correction band due to aliasing. Here we present Wiener filters for wave-front reconstruction in the spatial-frequency domain, ideally suited for systems with a high number of degrees of freedom. We develop a theore...
متن کاملSpatially filtered wave-front sensor for high-order adaptive optics.
Adaptive optics (AO) systems take sampled measurements of the wave-front phase. Because in the general case the spatial-frequency content of the phase aberration is not band limited, aliasing will occur. This aliasing will cause increased residual error and increased scattered light in the point-spread function (PSF). The spatially filtered wave-front sensor (SFWFS) mitigates this phenomenon by...
متن کاملModulation effect of the atmosphere in a pyramid wave-front sensor.
The pyramid wave-front sensor in its original form works with a mechanical modulation that adapts the linear range of the sensor to seeing and sensing conditions. For adaptive optics systems working in an astronomical context, the way in which the aberrations produced by the atmospheric turbulence, which are not seen by the sensor owing to its limited temporal bandwidth, act as modulators is sh...
متن کاملOn Bandlimited Spatiotemporal Field Sampling with Location and Time Unaware Mobile Sensors
Sampling of a spatiotemporal field for environmental sensing is of interest. Traditionally, a few fixed stations or sampling locations aid in the reconstruction of the spatial field. Recently, there has been an interest in mobile sensing and location-unaware sensing of spatial fields. In this work, the general class of fields governed by a constant coefficient linear partial differential equati...
