Abstract
Purpose:The measurement based on Shack‐Hartmann wave‐front sensor(WFS), obtaining both the high and low order wave‐front aberrations simultaneously and accurately, has been applied in the detection of human eyes aberration in recent years. However, Its application is limited by the small field of view (FOV), slight eye movement leads the optical bacon image exceeds the lenslet array which result in uncertain detection error. To overcome difficulties of precise eye location, the capacity of detecting eye wave‐front aberration over FOV much larger than simply a single conjugate Hartmann WFS accurately and simultaneously is demanded.Methods:Plenoptic camera's lenslet array subdivides the aperture light‐field in spatial frequency domain, capture the 4‐D light‐field information. Data recorded by plenoptic cameras can be used to extract the wave‐front phases associated to the eyes aberration. The corresponding theoretical model and simulation system is built up in this article to discuss wave‐front measurement performance when utilizing plenoptic camera as wave‐front sensor.Results:The simulation results indicate that the plenoptic wave‐front method can obtain both the high and low order eyes wave‐front aberration with the same accuracy as conventional system in single visual angle detectionand over FOV much larger than simply a single conjugate Hartmann systems. Meanwhile, simulation results show that detection of eye aberrations wave‐front in different visual angle can be achieved effectively and simultaneously by plenoptic method, by both point and extended optical beacon from the eye.Conclusion:Plenoptic wave‐front method possesses the feasibility in eye aberrations wave‐front detection. With larger FOV, the method can effectively reduce the detection error brought by imprecise eye location and simplify the eye aberrations wave‐front detection system comparing with which based on Shack‐Hartmann WFS. Unique advantage of the plenoptic method lies in obtaining wave‐front in different visual angle simultaneously, which provides an approach in building up 3‐D model of eye refractor tomographically.Funded by the key Laboratory of High Power Laser and Physics, CAS Research Project of National University of Defense Technology No. JC13‐07‐01; National Natural Science Foundation of China No. 61205144
