The optical wavefront the transverse spatial variation of the optical phase 鈥� plays a significant role in the propagation of optical beams and in the characterization of optical components & systems. Wavefront sensors are therefore important instruments for the worldwide optics community and especially for our regional optics ecosystem. This project seeks to apply deep learning to advance the performance of the RAM Photonics QuantoPhase wavefront sensor, harvesting & learning aspects of raw shearing interferograms including in the realm of pre-formed interferograms to allow for previously prohibited sensor design.
