Wavefront Sensing and Control with the Many Headed Hydra Modal Basis [PDF]
The future of space and ground based telescopes is intimately tied to technology and algorithm development surrounding wavefront sensing and control. Only with cutting edge developments and unusual ideas will we be able to build diffraction limited observatories on the ground that contend with earth-atmosphere, as well as space-based observatories that

Wavefront sensing based on the inverted Hartmann sensor [PDF]
The classic Hartmann test consists of an array of holes to reconstruct the wavefront from the local deviation of each focal spot, and Shack-Hartmann sensor improved that with an array of microlenses. This array of microlenses imposes practical limitations when the wavefront is not into of visible wavelengths, e.g., the fabrication of these. Instead, we

Demonstration of a photonic lantern focal-plane wavefront sensor: measurement of atmospheric wavefront error modes and low wind effect in the non-linear regime [PDF]
Here we present a laboratory analysis of the use of a 19-core photonic lantern (PL) in combination with neural network (NN) algorithms as an efficient focal plane wavefront sensor (FP-WFS) for adaptive optics (AO), measuring wavefront errors such as low wind effect (LWE), Zernike modes and Kolmogorov phase maps.

Using Spherical-Harmonics Expansions for Optics Surface Reconstruction from Gradients
In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to reconstruct optics surfaces (aka wavefronts) from gradients, defined on a circular domain, by means of the Spherical Harmonics.

Performance analysis of Fourier and Vector Matrix Multiply methods for phase reconstruction from slope measurements [PDF]
The accuracy of wavefront reconstruction from discrete slope measurements depends on the sampling geometry, coherence length of the incoming wavefronts, wavefront sensor specifications and the accuracy of the reconstruction algorithm. Monte Carlo simulations were performed and a comparison of Fourier and Vector Matrix Multiply reconstruction methods ...

Deep DIH: Single-Shot Digital In-Line Holography Reconstruction by Deep Learning
Digital in-line holography (DIH) is broadly used to reconstruct 3D shapes of microscopic objects from their 2D holograms. One of the technical challenges in the reconstruction stage is eliminating the twin image originating from the phase-conjugate ...
