Hartmann Propagation

Project information

Matlab code to calculate from a given Hartmann pattern the wavefront using Fourier transformation, assuming that an unknown reference wavefront is given by the best fit of the spots. This code uses the BPM - beam propagation method (3D), based on K. Okamoto, Fundamentals of Optical Waveguides (Third Edition), Chapter 7 - Beam Propagation Method, Academic Press (2022), https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-815601-8.50007-0.

The LighPipes_mod Python code is used for wavefront propagation simulation along the caustic in the vicinity of the focus position. The intensity, phase and focus distance obtained from the Matlab code are used as input for these calculations. Creator: Simon, 2023-2024
