I've set up the HWS with the probe beam sampling two optics in a Michelson configuration (source = SLED, beamsplitter = PBS cube). The return beams from the Michelson interferometer are incident on the HWS. I misaligned the reflected beam from the transmitted beam to create two Hartmann patterns, as shown below.
The next step is to show that the centroiding is a linear superposition of these two wavefronts. |
