Abstract
A phase retrieval algorithm derived from subdivision of the complex field at the focal plane is proposed. This subdivision is achieved with a lenslet array at the focal plane in a manner similar to the pyramid wave-front sensor. The phase retrieval algorithm significantly improves the wave-front estimate that can be attained as a linear combination of the aperture images. This phase retrieval algorithm also avoids the twin-image stagnation problem inherent in phase retrieval and phase retrieval in conjunction with the Shack-Hartmann sensor.
