Abstract
Wavefront reconstruction is carried out using sequentially recorded speckle patterns and an iterative phase retrieval method based on wave propagation. A novel fast-convergent algorithm that maintains the propagation distance in the iteration step equal to the distance between measurement planes is demonstrated. Employing the new algorithm, influences of the number of measurement planes, number of iterations, and uncertainties in the detector’s transverse and axial positions on the rate of phase convergence are analyzed experimentally. A conceptual design for a dynamic wavefront sensor using arrays of beam splitters and detectors for parallel speckle recording is described.
