Abstract

We present a novel wavefront reconstructor adapted for measurements of turbulent wavefronts taken by a plenoptic wavefront sensor. Intensity peaks from each lenslet sub-image of the overall plenoptic image are registered and consolidated based on their respective intensities to synthesize the measured wavefront. We demonstrate our algorithm by applying it to synthetic plenoptic data generated from computer simulations of a plenoptic wavefront sensor and reconstructing a turbulent wavefront.
