WAVEFRONT SENSING BY HETERODYNE SHEARING INTERFEROMETRY (WAVEFRONT RECONSTRUCTION).

The operation of a grating lateral shear heterodyne interferometer as a wavefront sensor for atmospherically perturbed wavefronts is analyzed. A novel wavefront sensor design is given and its feasibility is proven by laboratory experiments. The applications in mind are closed-loop active optical sys...
