Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensor Calibration in WaveMe
Calibration and Why it is Needed The WaveMe toolbox has a rather exceptional calibration method that allows for much more flexible use of the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. This tech talk will be about what it is and why it is different from what is available elsewhere. We will assume that you, the reader, are already…

Analyzing Coupled Systems
Designing new optical systems from the ground up can be an intimidating task, especially if the system we are trying to make is one that we must get right before anything can be built because the critical components simply do not yet exist. It’s merely a figment of our imagination and it is actually part…

Introduction to Goodman’s Graphical Methods
This blog post will be the first of three about the appliation of Goodman’s graphical methods and partially coherent illumination with focus on its application to spatial light modulators. This introduction will start at a point before Goodman’s paper and end just about where his paper begins. Hopefully, it will serve as an introduction to…
