Abstract:
We have designed, assembled, and evaluated a compact instrument capable of capturing the wavefront phase in real time, across various scenarios. Our approach simplifies the optical setup and configuration, which reduces the conventional capture and computation time when compared to other methods that use two defocused images. We evaluated the feasibility of using an electrically tunable lens in our camera by addressing its issues and optimizing its performance. Additionally, we conducted a comparison study between our approach and a Shack–Hartmann sensor. The camera was tested on multiple targets, such as deformable mirrors, lenses with aberrations, and a liquid lens in movement. Working at the highest resolution of the CMOS sensor with a small effective pixel size enables us to achieve the maximum level of detail in lateral resolution, leading to increased sensitivity to high-spatial-frequency signals.
