Popis: A Shack-Hartmann type wavefront sensor designed on the basis of a low-aperture off-axis diffraction lens array is described. Tests experiments showed that the sensor is capable of measuring wavefront slopes at array subapertures of size 640×640 µm with an error not exceeding 4.80 arcseconds (0.15 pixel), which corresponds to the standard deviation (SD) (SD = 0.0170λ) at the reconstructed wavefront. Advantages of the array used in the sensor and the technology of its manufacture are discussed. The sensor tested in the experiments can be used to measure atmospheric turbulence parameters and as an element of adaptive optical imaging systems.
