Centroid-Predicted Deep Neural Network in Shack-Hartmann Sensors
The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor produces incorrect wavefront measurements when some sub-spots are weak and missing. In this paper, a method is proposed to predict the centroids of these sub-spots for the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor based on the ...

Linearity of the pyramid wavefront sensor
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.

We describe a sequential operation approach for a three-sided pyramid wavefront sensor (PWFS) based on a micromirror array with hexagonal geometry. The geometrical optics analysis and numerical simulations show that a linear relationship exists between ...

Hartmann wavefront sensors and their application at FLASH [PDF]
Different types of Hartmann wavefront sensors are presented which are usable for a variety of applications in the soft X-ray spectral region at FLASH, the free-electron laser (FEL) in Hamburg. As a typical application, online measurements of photon beam parameters during mirror alignment are reported on.

Measuring Ocular Aberrations Sequentially Using a Digital Micromirror Device
The Hartmann⁻Shack wavefront sensor is widely used to measure aberrations in both astronomy and ophthalmology. Yet, the dynamic range of the sensor is limited by cross-talk between adjacent lenslets.

Alternative pyramid wavefront sensors [PDF]
The feasibility of a lenslet-based pyramid wavefront sensor (L-PWFS) and a double roof prism-based PWFS (DR-PWFS) as alternatives to a classical PWFS are investigated in this work. Traditional PWFSs require shallow angles and strict apex tolerances, making them difficult to manufacture. Lenslet arrays and roof prisms, on the other hand, are both common

Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensing of Ultrashort Optical Vortices
Light beams carrying Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM), also known as optical vortices (OV), have led to fascinating new developments in fields ranging from quantum communication to novel light–matter interaction aspects. Even though several techniques have

Wavefront sensors for adaptive optical systems [PDF]
Possibilities of constructing a wavefront sensor for the adaptive system in the Big Solar Vacuum Telescope are considered. A modified correlation tracker (MCT) is proposed. The sensor is tested by measuring the displacement of the image of the solar granulation pattern in the first and second foci of the telescope under clear vision conditions.
