Abstract
The approximate Strehl Ratio expressions that need only the wave phase distribution is not appropriate in the laser fusion system when the phase has great aberration. The accurate Strehl Ratio value need both the phase and the amplitude distribution information. The paper provide a method of reconstructing wave phase and amplitude distribution by a single radial shearing interferogram. The radial shearing interferometer based on spatial phase modulation is simple and stable, needs only one interferogram. The principle and structure of cyclic radial shearing interferometer are briefly discussed and the process of spatial phase modulation, Fourier transform method and wavefront reconstruction are analyzed. It also illluminates the physical meaning and establish the mathematical model. The process of getting SR value is simulated by computer. The simulation result indicates that the RMS error of the reconstructing wavefront can achieve λ/100.
