Main Methods:

Proposed a new PROSM method utilizing a spatial light modulator (SLM) to replace mechanical CCD translation.
Developed a novel iterative threshold phase retrieval algorithm incorporating sparsity constraints.
Implemented electrical modulation of SLM patterns for wave field sampling.

Main Results:

The new PROSM method significantly suppresses deviations by replacing mechanical CCD movement with SLM pattern modulation.
The sparsity-constrained iterative algorithm effectively reconstructs the wave field phase.
Experimental validation demonstrates superior simplicity, robustness, and accuracy compared to traditional techniques.

Conclusions:

The proposed SLM-based PROSM method offers a more advanced and reliable approach to optical surface measurement.
Eliminating mechanical components enhances system stability and measurement precision.
