X-ray wavefront characterization with two-dimensional wavefront sensors: shearing interferometers and Hartmann wavefront sensors
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-dimensional x-ray shearing interferometer and Hartmann wavefront sensor are presented for two different phase profiles. The first co...
متن کاملPhoton counting arrays for AO wavefront sensors
Future wavefront sensors for AO on large telescopes will require a large number of pixels and must operate at high frame rates. Unfortunately for CCDs, there is a readout noise penalty for operating faster, and this noise can add up rather quickly when considering the number of pixels required for the extended shape of a sodium laser guide star observed with a large telescope. Imaging photon co...
متن کاملShack-Hartmann wavefront sensor precision and accuracy
The design of a wavefront sensor may be determined by the lenslet array and camera selection. There are numerous different applications for these sensors, requiring widely differing dynamic range and accuracy. Performance metrics are needed to evaluate candidate designs and to compare results. We have developed a standard methodology for measuring the repeatability, accuracy and dynamic range o...
متن کاملApplication of Shack-hartmann Wavefront Sensors to Optical System Calibration and Alignment
While Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors are commonly used for adaptive optics, they have many other applications. The modern Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor is compact, rugged, and insensitive to vibration, and has fully integrated data acquisition and analysis. Furthermore, even wavefronts of broadband sources that cannot normally be tested with interferometers can be measured with Shack-Hartma...
متن کاملMeasurement Error of Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensor
A Shack-Hartmann sensor is one of the most important and popular wavefront sensors used in an adaptive optics system to measure the aberrations caused by either atmospheric turbulence, laser transmission, or the living eye [1-7]. Its design was based on an aperture array that was developed in 1900 by Johannes Franz Hartmann as a means to trace individual rays of light through the optical system...
