    Area of Science:

    • Optical Engineering
    • Metrology
    • Wavefront Sensing

    Background:

    • Shack-Hartmann sensors are crucial for wavefront measurement.
    • Calibration alone does not guarantee accuracy due to optical system tolerances.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a method for quantifying Shack-Hartmann sensor accuracy degradation from fabrication and alignment errors.
    • To bridge the gap between conventional tolerance analysis and wavefront measurement error.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel tolerancing method is proposed to convert optical design software merit function degradation into wavefront measurement error.
    • The method avoids the need for a separate wavefront reconstruction algorithm.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method effectively quantifies the impact of fabrication and misalignment errors on sensor accuracy.
    • The study demonstrates the relationship between error effects and input wavefront vergence.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed tolerancing method provides a direct link between optical system tolerances and wavefront measurement error.
    • This approach enhances the accuracy assessment of calibrated Shack-Hartmann sensors in the presence of real-world imperfections.
