Abstract

Wavefront reconstruction and correction under strong turbulence has become a crucial issue for adaptive optics systems. An approach using a plenoptic sensor has attracted high attention recently. However, the existing reconstruction and correction algorithms based on the plenoptic sensor are sometimes unsatisfactory. Therefore, we propose a modified approach based on the checkerboard algorithm to reconstruct the wavefront. By means of a weighted summation, the reconstruction accuracy is clearly increased. We propose using the direct-gradient method to correct the disturbed wavefront after reconstruction, and our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness with only one correction step.
