Wavefront sensing method & apparatus
Wavefront sensing apparatus comprises a beam splitter (106) for combining a wavefront to be characterised (105) with a frequency-shifted plane wavefront (111) and a bundle of optical fibres (112) arranged to detect the combined beam at a plurality of positions across the combined beam. Output from i...

| description | Wavefront sensing apparatus comprises a beam splitter (106) for combining a wavefront to be characterised (105) with a frequency-shifted plane wavefront (111) and a bundle of optical fibres (112) arranged to detect the combined beam at a plurality of positions across the combined beam. Output from individual fibres of the bundle are detected to produce corresponding heterodyne signals, the phases of which are extracted by demodulation. By fitting the extracted phases to an assumed functional form for the phase of the wavefront to be characterised, the piston, tip, tilt and radius of curvature phase parameters of the wave-front to be characterised may be found at the position of the fibre bundle. In contrast, prior art methods of wavefront characterisation only allow the piston phase of the wavefront to be characterised to be obtained. |
