Abstract

In this paper, a new wavefront measurement is proposed, which is based on active deflectormetry and phase-shift technique. The deflections of imaging rays caused by a phase object could be measured accurately with the phase-shift technique and a removable TFT flat panel to display both the horizontal and vertical sinusoidal intensity patterns respectively, and then the wavefront distribution could be calculated. When a phase object is placed between a display and a calibrated CCD camera, the intensity patterns will be distorted. The distortion can be measured, and another different distortion can be got by moving the display. Then the ray deflections can be measured as well as the gradients of phase shift caused by the object. Therefore the wavefront can be reconstructed. Experimental results show the feasibility of this method. Compared with other techniques, this technique is simpler, cheaper and more flexible.
