Abstract

The conventional wavefront reconstruction of the Shack-Hartmann method is based on the measured slopes by using the least-square fitting method. However, this reconstruction method suffers from the low order Zernike terms in wavefront, especially defocus and astigmatism, due to the discrepancy of coordinate systems between the lenslet array and the original wavefront caused by the propagation of subaperture wavefront. In this paper, a ray tracing method was used to calculate the slope error between an input wavefront and the reconstructed wavefront. Then, an iteration procedure including slope compensation and coordination compensation was constructed and implemented to minimize the wavefront reconstruction error. The numerical simulation was performed for a variety of defocus-dominated input wavefront and high-order-dominated input wavefront, and verified that high accuracy wavefront reconstruction can be achieved by the proposed iterative compensation method.
