Typical Hartmann wave front sensor may refer to Chinese patent application prospectus (application number 98112210.8, publication number CN1245904) disclosed in a kind of optical wave-front sensor, it is by lens array by incident wavefront Before being divided into multiple wavelets for regarding oblique incidence as, and an array photodetection is placed on the focal plane of lens array Device, array photodetector generally use ccd detector or cmos detector, by detecting the offset of each focus, The tilt quantity for measuring each sub-aperture wavefront reconstructs wavefront to be measured by restoring to the fitting before each wavelet.
However there are the inherent technological difficulties of following two points for Hartmann's wavefront sensing technique: (1) measurement accuracy and dynamic Contradiction between state range.High-precision wavefront sensing needs are sufficiently sampled, which needs intensive sub-aperture to divide, This will lead to sub-aperture area and becomes smaller, so that Wavefront sensor dynamic range becomes smaller.Therefore, it is past to promote wavefront measurement precision Past is to sacrifice dynamic range as cost.(2) limitation of the spatial resolution of Hartmann wave front sensor.Hartmann sensor Measurement accuracy relies primarily on sub-aperture density, but sub-aperture number can not infinitely increase, and each sub-aperture needs certain picture after all Usually it is imaged.Therefore, from conventional detection analysis of strategies, Hartmann wave front sensor is difficult to reach the spatial resolution of Pixel-level. Promoted Hartmann wave front sensor measurement accuracy have become a research hotspot, at present scheme often through increase device, Algorithm complexity improves wave front restoration precision as far as possible, but can not break through this and basic limit.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of Wavefront sensors, get rid of the sub-aperture density limitation of lens array, make wave Pixel-level level has been arrived in preceding measurement accuracy promotion.
