Abstract: A wavefront measuring method using a Shack-Hartmann sensor includes the steps of provisionally determining one of a plurality of light receiving elements as a center-of-gravity position in a spot having a light intensity distribution of light condensed on the light receiving element, calculating a distance between the provisionally determined center-of-gravity position and an adjacent center-of-gravity position, setting an area smaller than and inside of a spot that partially overlaps another spot, and setting a spot that does not overlap another spot to the area, calculating a center-of-gravity position for each area, and calculating the wavefront based upon a shift amount between an ideal center-of-gravity position when parallel light enters the micro lens array and the center-of-gravity position of each area.
