    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Optical Metrology
    • Wavefront Sensing

    Background:

    • Optical differentiation wavefront sensors (ODWS) are crucial for reconstructing optical wave properties.
    • Current methods for inducing transmission gradients can be complex and costly.
    • A need exists for simpler, more adaptable wavefront sensing techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the feasibility of using binary pixelated filters for implementing spatially varying transmission gradients in ODWS.
    • To analyze the impact of pixelation and binarization noise on sensor performance.
    • To experimentally validate the accuracy and consistency of a first-generation ODWS utilizing these filters.

    Main Methods:

    • Numerical and experimental implementation of spatially varying transmission gradients using binary pixelated filters (transparent/opaque pixels).
    • Investigation of noise effects from pixelation and binarization for diverse wavefronts and sensor parameters.
    • Fabrication of achromatic binary pixelated filters using commercial lithography.

    Main Results:

    • Binary pixelated filters offer achromatic properties and cost-effective fabrication.
    • Induced wavefront error is inversely proportional to pixel size; errors < λ/15 achieved with 2.5-μm pixels for a 1-cm pupil ODWS (100 rad/mm dynamic range).
    • Experimental validation confirmed the accuracy and consistency of the developed ODWS.

    Conclusions:

    • Binary pixelated filters are a viable and effective method for creating transmission gradients in ODWS.
    • The developed ODWS demonstrates high accuracy and consistency, suitable for various optical applications.
    • This approach offers adjustable dynamic range and sensitivity through simple filter design modifications.
