  • Patent number: 6819413
    Abstract: An enhanced dynamic range wavefront sensing system includes a light source disposed on a first side of an optically transmissive device, a wavefront sensor disposed on a second side of an optically transmissive device, a relay imaging system disposed between the optically transmissive device and the wavefront sensor, and means for adjusting a distance between the light source and the optically transmissive device. Beneficially, the relay imaging system includes a range-limiting aperture to insure that the wavefront sensor never goes out of range so that a feedback system can be employed to move the light source one focal length away from the optically transmissive device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6184974
    Abstract: A Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor having an aperture which is smaller than the size of an object being measured is used to measure the wavefront for the entire object. The wavefront sensor and the object are translated relative to one another to measure the wavefronts at a plurality of subregions of the object. The measured wavefronts are then stitched together to form a wavefront of the object. The subregions may overlap in at least one dimensions. A reference surface may be provided to calibrate the wavefront sensor.

  • Patent number: 6052180
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for characterizing a pulsed energy beam with a two-dimensional wavefront sensor. The data acquisition is synchronized with the output of the beam from the pulsed source, so that a beam characterization, including phase, can be determined in a single pulse.
