SHACK-HARTMANN

The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor is a simple and elegant means for measuring the shape of a wavefront. This technique has found application to a wide variety of functions from improving images of the vast cosmos to the more down to earth measurements of the aberrations of the eye. It has become widespread throughout the world with hundreds of millions of astronomical images benefiting from the process to millions of corrective surgeries that are performed to enhance vision. It is rare for a technology to have such a dramatic impact on a single field, let alone multiple fields, as the Shack-Hartmann sensor. This type of sensor is also known as Hartmann-Shack, Shack Hartmann, or Hartmann Shack without the hyphen.
