Abstract

This paper presents a new method for zonal wavefront reconstruction (WFR) with application to adaptive optics systems. This new method, indicated as Spline based ABerration REconstruction (SABRE), uses bivariate simplex B-spline basis functions to reconstruct the wavefront using local wavefront slope measurements. The SABRE enables WFR on nonrectangular and partly obscured sensor grids and is not subject to the waffle mode. The performance of SABRE is compared to that of the finite difference (FD) method in numerical experiments using data from a simulated Shack–Hartmann lenslet array. The results show that SABRE offers superior reconstruction accuracy and noise rejection capabilities compared to the FD method.
