Abstract:

We present here a description of a wave front analyzer based on the Foucault method. Such an analyzer offers a number of advantages as compared to the Hartmann sensors when applying to adaptive optical systems. Its construction is simpler, because a monolithic matrix, which has four times less number of elements and the same spatial resolution, can be used instead of the set of quadrant photodetectors. The measurement range is significantly wider (by one order of magnitude).
