Computational Method for Wavefront Sensing Based on Transport-of-Intensity Equation
Recently the transport-of-intensity equation as a phase imaging method turned out as an effective microscopy method that does not require the use of high-resolution optical systems and a priori information about the object.

The wavefront of the radio signal emitted by cosmic ray air showers [PDF]
Analyzing measurements of the LOPES antenna array together with corresponding CoREAS simulations for more than 300 measured events with energy above $10^{17}\,$eV and zenith angles smaller than $45^\circ$, we find that the radio wavefront of cosmic-ray ...

Shack Hartmann wavefront sensor with array of phase coded masks [PDF]
Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors (SHWS) are generally used to measure the wavefront curvature of light beams. Measurement accuracy and the sensitivity of these sensors are important factors for better wavefront sensing. In this study, we demonstrate a new type of SHWS with better measurement accuracy than the regular SHWS.

Nonlinear Wavefront Control with All-Dielectric Metasurfaces.
Metasurfaces, two-dimensional lattices of nanoscale resonators, offer unique opportunities for functional flat optics and allow the control of the transmission, reflection, and polarization of a wavefront of light.

Reconstructing the Spatial Parameters of a Laser Beam Using the Transport-of-Intensity Equation
A simple method for reconstructing the spatial parameters of a laser beam, based on the transport-of-intensity equation, is presented. Registration of cross-section intensity distributions in several planes was carried out using a single CMOS camera. The

Compressive Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensor based on Deep Neural Networks [PDF]
The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor is widely used to measure aberrations induced by atmospheric turbulence in adaptive optics systems. However if there exists strong atmospheric turbulence or the brightness of guide stars is low, the accuracy of wavefront measurements will be affected.

Compressed wavefront sensing [PDF]
We report on an algorithm for fast wavefront sensing that incorporates sparse representation for the first time in practice. The partial derivatives of optical wavefronts were sampled sparsely with a Shack-Hartman wavefront sensor (SHWFS) by randomly subsampling the original SHWFS data to as little as 5%.

Quasi-static aberrations induced by laser guide stars in adaptive optics [PDF]
Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics (LGS AO) systems use the return from an artificial guide star to measure the wavefront aberrations in the direction of the science object.

Achieving the laser intensity of 5.5×1022 W/cm2 with a wavefront-corrected multi-PW laser.
The generation of ultrahigh intensity laser pulses was investigated by tightly focusing a wavefront-corrected multi-petawatt Ti:sapphire laser. For the wavefront correction of the PW laser, two stages of deformable mirrors were employed.

Calibrating a high-resolution wavefront corrector with a static focal-plane camera
We present a method to calibrate a high-resolution wavefront-correcting device with a single, static camera, located in the focal plane; no moving of any component is needed.
