Article Abstract
In the present work, we propose a hybrid holographic modal wavefront sensing (HHMWS) technique to improve aberration correction by leveraging the complementary strengths of Zernike polynomials and polar Walsh functions, together with an optimized correction strategy. Zernike-based modal wavefront sensing is effective for correcting low-order aberrations but is less capable of addressing complex aberrations like those caused by atmospheric turbulence. To address such limitations, the proposed technique integrates polar Walsh function-based correction with feedback condition, in a sequential manner, offering reduced cross talk and real-time correction capabilities. Moreover, an experimental setup is designed to implement such a hybrid approach, in order to improve wavefront estimation accuracy, enabling correction of both low- and high-order aberrations, using a single spatial light modulator (SLM) and camera.

To quantify high-spatial-frequency wavefront errors caused by microaberration, we developed a high-resolution (20 µm) Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS). This system was designed using a small lenslet array (100 µm) and a large CMOS sensor (24.6 × 32.

However, current chip-scale methods based on optical phased arrays require complex control of a large number of waveguides, leading to a large device footprint and limited field-of-view. Here, we propose an alternative framework for wavefront shaping using amplitude and phase control of transverse spatial modes within compact multimode waveguides.

Understanding the underlying mechanisms of coherence reduction and control in multimode fibers is then essential for optimized performance in these applications. In this study, we perform spatial coherence measurements across the full beam of multimode fiber based light sources using a wavefront-folding interferometer.

We propose an end-to-end model that estimates the exit pupil wavefront directly from phase diversity images using deep learning. The aim is to restore the exit pupil wavefront through zonal reconstruction to obtain more high-order modal aberrations, thereby improving the reconstruction quality of degraded images. Our simulated experimental results show that zonal reconstruction significantly outperforms modal reconstruction in restoring high-order aberrations.

A major challenge is the creation of microscopic spherical mirror structures which allow the precise matching with the wavefront of a Gaussian beam, while providing high surface quality. We present a novel fabrication technique, enabling the creation of customized microscopic cavity mirror structures over a wide range of geometrical parameters, by combining focused ion beam (FIB) milling and CO laser smoothing.
