ABSTRACT:
A differential curvature sensing device for measuring a wavefront curvature by employing increased spatial sampling for wavefront testing with mid-frequency error recovery. The device includes a sampling sensor having an output beam, an optical element to split said output beam, a lenslet array in the path of each beam to generate corresponding sampling grids, a shearing element for shifting the grid points in horizontal and vertical directions to produce plural sampling grids having plural grid points for use generating a spatial sampling grid having a density for mid-spatial frequency recovery. The displacement of the shifting less than a pitch size of the lenslet array, and a measuring device measuring plural slopes of plural wavefronts at each grid point to obtain a wavefront normal curvature and corresponding twist curvature terms to determine a principal curvature and directions. The sensor is a Shack-Hartman sensor, shearing interferometer sensor and other discrete-point sampling sensors.
