  • Patent number: 9829718
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for improving capability of resisting image noise of a co-phasing system of a dispersed fringe sensor. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out a coarse co-phasing adjustment by utilizing the dispersed fringe sensor until the coarse co-phasing is stabilized in a closed loop; collecting a two dimensional dispersed fringe image by the dispersed fringe sensor; superposing the dispersed fringe image along a dispersed direction so as to convert the two dimensional dispersed fringe image to a one dimensional image along an interferential direction; extracting peak values of the main peak, a left side lobe and a right side lobe of the one dimensional image along the interferential direction, and calculating corresponding piston error value of the image by carrying out a Left-subtracting-right LSR algorithm on these peak values.

  • Patent number: 9236943
    Abstract: There is provided a method of eliminating an offset in a spot centroid due to crosstalk. A crosstalk matrix is used to characterize crosstalk characteristics of a multi-pixel spot-centroid detector. Left-multiplication of signals outputted from the multi-pixel spot-centroid detector, which are affected by the crosstalk, by an inverse matrix of the crosstalk matrix can result in a light-intensity-distribution signal with impacts of the crosstalk substantially removed. Based on this light-intensity-distribution signal, it is possible to derive the spot centroid, with the offset in the spot centroid due to the crosstalk substantially eliminated, resulting in an improved accuracy of the spot centroid detection, as compared with conventional methods.
