Classic phase retrieval techniques use intensity patterns to obtain typical aberrations such as coma or astigmatism. However, the patterns obtained with the Transport of Intensity Equation techniques have not been studied yet. In this work, we propose a method to obtain intensity distributions of some aberration wavefronts. It is expected that this characterization method may facilitate new testing strategies in optical workshops.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
