4 Wavefront Sensing Direct Sensing of the wavefront is not possible. Wavefront can be derived either from Geometric or Interferometric methods from Intensity measurements at the focal plane or pupil plane. Existing Methods: Shack Hartmann Wavefront Sensor Curvature Sensor Pyramid Wavefront Sensing Lateral Shearing Interferometer
5 What does a Wavefront Sensor do? A plane wavefront from a distant star gets distorted due to atmospheric turbulence and system errors. A wavefront sensor measures these errors. Basic Requirements of a wavefront sensor: To sense the Wavefront with enough spatial resolution and enough speed for real time compensation.
6 Polarization Shearing Interferometer Using Two Crossed Babinet Compensators It works on the principle of Lateral Shearing Interferometry Technique. Now consider the case of a single BC
7 P BC A F d 1 Shear = 2(n e -n o ) tanα f
8 Two Babinet Compensators BC1 & BC2 are crossed and kept either side of the focus Shear in the X direction S Shear in the Y direction T Resultant Shear = S + T 2 2
9 The intensity distribution at the detector plane can be written as I( x, y) = A + B cos( φ( x, y)) Where B(x, y) - Intensity modulations due to imperfections in the polarizer and analyzer and the birefringent material transmission or reflection. The local fringe phase φ(x,y) = 2π/λ w(x,y) w (x, y)=w ( x + S/2, y + T/2 ) - w ( x - S/2, y - T/2 ), For small shear approximation w can be written as w w W = s + t x y
10 Theoretical Simulations A wavefront over a circular region of unit radius can be expressed using ernike Polynomials m = n + 1 R ( ρ) 2 cos( mθ ), for m 0 i even m = n + 1 R ( ρ) 2 sin( mθ ), for m 0 i odd i n n = n + R for R 0 1 n ( ρ), m=0 n m 2 s m ( 1) ( n s)! n 2s n ( ρ) = ρ s= 0 n + m n m s! s! s! 2 2 The values of n and m satisfy m < n and n-m is even.
11 Any wavefront distortion over a circular aperture of unit radius can be expanded as a sum of ernike modes = m= 1 W ( ρ, θ ) d ( ρ, θ ) m m Where d m is the coefficient of m th polynomial m = 1 = 2ρ cosθ = 2ρ sinθ = ρ 2 3(2 1) Piston tip & tilt Defocus
12 Expression of the first 15 ernike modes = 1 Piston = 2ρ cosθ Tip & tilt = 2ρ sinθ 2 3(2ρ 1) r 2 6 sin 2 r 2 6 cos 2 = r r 2 8(3 2 )sin = r r 2 8(3 2 )cos = 8 sin 3θ = 8 cos3θ = r r (6 6 1) = r r (10 3 ) cos 2 = r r = = = θ θ θ θ (10 3 ) sin 2 θ θ Defocus Astigmatism 3 rd order Coma Trefoil Spherical Aberration Astigmatism 5 th order = 10 cos 4θ = 10 sin 4θ Astigmatism 7 th order
13 Graphical representation of few ernike Modes X-tilt Y-tilt Defocus Astigmatism Coma 3 rd order Spherical Astigmatism 5 th Coma 5th order
14 W = d j= 1 j j Since the derivative of the wavefront contains the derivative of the ernike polynomial The Derivatives of the ernike polynomials can be expressed as linear combination of ernike Polynomial (Noll 1976) = γ j ' ' jj j ' j Where d j are the ernike coefficients w w w( x, y) = S + T = d j s γ x + t γ y ' ' ' ' jj j jj j x y j= 1 ' ' j j
15 For different values for ernike coefficients corresponding to different aberrations interferograms were simulated Defocus d1 = d2 Defocus d1 d2 Spherical aberration=1λ Astigmatism = 1λ Coma = 1λ All aberrations
16 Introducing noise, ripples due to polishing marks and noise due to atmospheric turbulence corresponding to changing r o With System errors With ripple errors Errors due to turbulence Including noise More noise & Small r o worst case
17 Reconstruction of Wavefront The aberrated wavefront has to be deduced from the interferogram. I( x, y) = A + B cos( φ( x, y)) Where 2π φ( x, y) = w( x, y) λ In this case, the defocus term corresponds to the spatial carrier frequency in the interferogram. The high frequency noise is removed in the Fourier domain
18 Inverse FT results in Intensity with 2π ambiguity Suitable Phase unwrapping Technique has to be employed to remove the ambiguity The phase variations corresponds to 2π w( x, y) λ Recalling the Equation n w( x, y) = d s γ + t γ j x jj j y jj j j= 1 ' ' j j ' ' ' ' The number of measurements is generally more than the number of unknowns, so a Least Squares solution is adopted. The linear relationship can be written as The ernike coefficients are determined by A = XB 1 ( T T X = B B) B A
19 By knowing the ernike coefficients the wavefront is reconstructed using = m= 1 W ( ρ, θ ) d ( ρ, θ ) m m The common measure of the wavefront quality is the Strehl Ratio Strehl Ratio Ratio of intensity at the Gausian image point in the presence of aberrations to the intensity with no aberrations Strehl Ratio = 1 Diffraction limited case The performance of the system is considered to be good if the the Strehl ratio is > 0.8
20 Root Mean Square deviation of the wavefront is calculated as 2π ( (, ) (, )) rms = W ρ θ W ρ θ ρd ρdθ 2 Where C i are the ernike coefficients n = C i 0 2
