    摘要: Metrology is performed using short, temporally resolved measurements in order to “freeze” the deformation of the object at a particular instant in time. The pulsed light beams are used to conduct metrology of moving objects and objects which are moved relative to the detector for measurement thereof. The motion may be translational, spiral and/or rotational. The duty cycle of the light source may be varied to in accordance with the control of the operation of the detector to perform metrology using a reduced total exposure of an object, while increasing the amount of light available for the measurement.

    摘要: An enhanced dynamic range wavefront sensing system includes a light source disposed on a first side of an optically transmissive device, a wavefront sensor disposed on a second side of an optically transmissive device, a relay imaging system disposed between the optically transmissive device and the wavefront sensor, and means for adjusting a distance between the light source and the optically transmissive device. Beneficially, the relay imaging system includes a range-limiting aperture to insure that the wavefront sensor never goes out of range so that a feedback system can be employed to move the light source one focal length away from the optically transmissive device.

    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods that facilitate optical analysis, particularly for the diagnosis and treatment of refractive errors of the eye. An optical diagnostic method for an eye includes obtaining a sequence of aberration measurements of the eye, identifying an outlier aberration measurement of the sequence of aberration measurements, and excluding the outlier aberration measurement from the sequence of aberration measurements to produce a qualified sequence of aberration measurements. The sequence of aberrations measurements can be obtained by using a wavefront sensor. An optical correction for the eye can be formulated in response to the qualified sequence of aberration measurements.

In one embodiment, the optical system, diffractive optical element, and detector are arranged to provide telecentric, pupil plane images of the light beam. A processor receives the image data from the detector, and executes a Gerchberg-Saxton phase retrieval algorithm to measure the wavefront of the light beam.
