The results of studies of a wavefront sensor based on the Talbot effect, in which a periodic grating made by laser printing is used, are presented. The optical characteristics of periodic gratings printed on polymer films exposed to a continuous radiation density of up to 0.9 W/cm2 have been studied. The possibility of creating efficient configurable wavefront sensors for lasers in the visible and mid-IR spectral ranges is demonstrated.
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.
