ABSTRACT:
A holographic wavefront sensor inclusive of a multiplexed hologram that can reconstruct one or more diffracted beams from a single object or input beam onto a distant image plane. The position of the reconstructed beams on the distant image plane indicates the relative amounts of different aberrations present in the input beam. Optical and computer realization of the employed hologram are accomplished along with sensor configurations in simple and more complex uses.
