Dark wavefront sensing takes shape following quantum mechanics concepts in which one is able to "see" an object in one path of a two-arm interferometer using an as low as desired amount of light actually "hitting" the occulting object. A…

Weak measurements offer the possibility of tuning the information acquired on a system, hence the imposed disturbance. This suggests that it could be a useful tool for multi-parameter estimation, when two parameters can not be measured…

Conventional methods of wavefront reconstruction from the raw data of the Shack-Hartmann sensor use the focal spot shifts and discard the high-frequency information about the wavefront. Phase-retrieval-based methods treat the Hartmann…
