Abstract

High-resolution phase-contrast wavefront sensors based on optically addressed phase spatial light modulators and micro-mirror/LC arrays areintroduced. Wavefront sensor efficiency is analyzed for atmosphericturbulence-induced phase distortions described by the Kolmogorov and Andrews models. A nonlinear Zernike filter wavefront sensor based on anoptically addressed liquid crystal phase spatial light modulator isexperimentally demonstrated. The results demonstrate high-resolutionvisualization of dynamically changing phase distortions within the sensortime response of 10 msec.
