Wavefront sensing with a thin diffuser has emerged as a potential low-cost alternative to a lenslet array for aberrometry. Diffuser wavefront sensors (DWS) have previously relied on tracking speckle displacement and consequently require…
We improved a previously proposed method of using closed-orbit modulation for linear optics correction. Instead of fitting individual closed orbits, the improved method decomposes the orbit oscillation data into two orthogonal modes and…
Many optical measurement techniques, such as light scattering from wavelength-scale particles or detecting motion from a surface with an optical lever, encode information in a complex radiation pattern. Extracting all available information…
