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.

A new low-cost, compact, auto-phoropter for refractive assessment in developing countries
Using a phoropter to measure the refractive error is one of the most commonly used methods by ophthalmologists and optometrists. Here, we demonstrate design and fabrication of a portable automatic phoropter with no need for patient’s feedback. The system

Visible and Near-infrared Laboratory Demonstration of a Simplified Pyramid Wavefront Sensor [PDF]
Wavefront sensing and control are important for enabling one of the key advantages of using large apertures, namely higher angular resolution. Pyramid wavefront sensors are becoming commonplace in new instrument designs owing to their superior ...

Atmospheric turbulence causes refractive index fluctuations, which in turn introduce extra distortions to the wavefront of the propagated radiation. It ultimately degrades telescope resolution (in imaging applications) and reduces radiation power density

Demonstrating predictive wavefront control with the Keck II near-infrared pyramid wavefront sensor [PDF]
The success of ground-based instruments for high contrast exoplanet imaging depends on the degree to which adaptive optics (AO) systems can mitigate atmospheric turbulence.

An Optical Wavefront Sensor Based on a Double Layer Microlens Array
In order to determine light aberrations, Shack-Hartmann optical wavefront sensors make use of microlens arrays (MLA) to divide the incident light into small parts and focus them onto image planes.

Wavefront Reconstruction of Shack-Hartmann with Under-Sampling of Sub-Apertures
Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor plays a key role in adaptive optics (AO) systems, which detect the aberrant wavefront by an array of micro-lenslets across the aperture pupil.

X-ray wavefront characterization with two-dimensional wavefront sensors: shearing interferometers and Hartmann wavefront sensors [PDF]
Phase reconstructions from a two-dimensional shearing inter- ferometer, based on two orthogonal phase gratings in a single plane, and a Hartmann sensor are compared. Design alternatives for both wavefront sensors are given, and simulated performance of both the two-dimen- sional x-ray shearing interferometer and Hartmann wavefront sensor are presented ...
