    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.

    摘要: A phase diversity wavefront sensor includes an optical system including at least one optical element for receiving a light beam; a diffractive optical element having a diffractive pattern defining a filter function, the diffractive optical element being arranged to produce, in conjunction with the optical system, images from the light beam associated with at least two diffraction orders; and a detector for detecting the images and outputting image data corresponding to the detected images. 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.

    摘要: An algorithm locates valid light spots produced on an image detector by a wavefront of interest. The algorithm includes sequentially examining pixels of the image detector to determine for each of the pixels whether the light intensity detected by the pixel is greater than a threshold, When the pixel's detected light intensity is determined to be greater than the threshold, the algorithm includes: determining whether the pixel belongs to a valid light spot; and when the pixel is determined to belong to a valid light spot; saving data indicating a location for the valid light spot; and masking out a group of pixels of the image detector at the determined location such that the masked pixels are considered to have a light intensity less than the threshold for a remainder of the sequential examination.
