Phase retrieval using Gaussian basis functions
Abstract
A wavefront map of arbitrary aperture can be represented by a sum of Gaussian basis functions. Its performance is compared here to other representation methods such as orthonormal polynomials and Fourier modes. Gaussian basis functions can be applied to phase retrieval of high-frequency wavefront maps. Experiments show good agreement with direct measurements by a wavefront sensor. Finally, optimum measurement conditions are discussed based on the statistics of wavefront properties.
