Abstract:

A numerical implementation of an algorithm for reconstructing a phase front in the form of an expansion in a system of orthogonal polynomials from the results of measurements of the partial derivatives of the phase front at the points of the aperture of a Hartman sensor is proposed. An example of the implementation of the algorithm using for the orthogonal basis Zernike polynomials in a Cartesian coordinate system is given.
