Wavefront Sensor
(instrument for determining a wave's deformation)
A Wavefront Sensor is an instrument for determining a wave's
deformation to control a correcting instrument in an Adaptive Optics
system. Types include:
- Shack-Hartmann Sensor - focuses spots and senses their position
- Wavefront Curvature Sensor - focuses spots and measures relative intensity
- Pyramid Sensor
