Background:

  • Traditional wavefront analysis often relies on reference-beam phase shifting.
  • Existing methods can be complex and sensitive to environmental factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new wavefront analysis technique based on spatial phase-shift interferometry.
  • To replace conventional reference-beam phase shifting with controlled wavefront manipulations.
  • To analyze the system's dependence on the spatial Airy number.

Main Methods:

  • Applying specific wavefront manipulations to a spatially defined area.
  • Utilizing spatial phase-shift interferometry principles.
  • Developing analytical methods for intensity data and wavefront reconstruction.
