Abstract
There has been very limited study on the stability of a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWS) since its emergence in the early 1970s. In this paper, through experimental study of the system stability of a digital SHWS, a special lenslet array with long focal range is designed and implemented with a spatial light modulator to improve the system performance. Diffractive lenses with long focal length range can provide pseudo-nondiffracting beams and a long range of focusing plane. The performance and effect of the modified SHWS with this lenslet array are investigated, and the experimental results show that the system stability and measurement repeatability are not sensitive to the sensing distance and stay at an acceptable level.
