Linearity of the pyramid wavefront sensor

open access: yesOptics Express, 2006
The pyramid wavefront sensor is very similar to the Fourier knife-edge test, but employs dynamic modulation to quantify the phase derivative. For circular modulation, we compare approximate geometrical optics calculations, more exact diffraction calculations, and experimental results.

WISH: wavefront imaging sensor with high resolution

open access: yesLight: Science & Applications, 2019
Wavefront sensing is the simultaneous measurement of the amplitude and phase of an incoming optical field. Traditional wavefront sensors such as Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS) suffer from a fundamental tradeoff between spatial resolution and ...

Non-modulated pyramid wavefront sensor. Use in sensing and correcting atmospheric turbulence [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2023
Context. The diffusion of adaptive optics systems in astronomical instrumentation for large ground-based telescopes is rapidly increasing and the pyramid wavefront sensor is replacing the Shack-Hartmann as the standard solution for single conjugate ...

On-sky Reconstruction of Keck Primary Mirror Piston Offsets Using a Zernike Wavefront Sensor [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2022
The next generation of large ground- and space-based optical telescopes will have segmented primary mirrors. Co-phasing the segments requires a sensitive wavefront sensor capable of measuring phase discontinuities.

Variation on a Zernike wavefront sensor theme: Optimal use of photons [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2021
Aims. The Zernike wavefront sensor (ZWFS) is a concept belonging to the wide class of Fourier-filtering wavefront sensors (FFWFSs). The ZWFS is known for its extremely high sensitivity and low dynamic range, which makes it a unique sensor for second ...

On-sky validation of image-based adaptive optics wavefront sensor referencing [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2021
Differentiating between an exoplanet signal and residual speckle noise is a key challenge in high-contrast imaging. Speckles are due to a combination of fast, slow and static wavefront aberrations introduced by atmospheric turbulence and instrument ...

Accuracy characterization of Shack–Hartmann sensor with residual error removal in spherical wavefront calibration

open access: yesLight: Advanced Manufacturing, 2023
The widely used Shack –Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS) is a wavefront measurement system. Its measurement accuracy is limited by the reference wavefront used for calibration and also by various residual errors of the sensor itself. In this study, based

Simulation-based design optimization of the holographic wavefront sensor in closed-loop adaptive optics

open access: yesLight: Advanced Manufacturing, 2022
Adaptive optics systems are used to compensate for wavefront distortions introduced by atmospheric turbulence. The distortions are corrected by an adaptable device, normally a deformable mirror.
