Wavefront analysis based on Zernike polynomials

The simulation of optical wavefront decomposition on Zernike poly- nomials based on the multi-channel diffractive optical element (DOE) was per- formed. This approach is an alternative to classical wavefront sensors and may be used to determine weighted values of aberrations in the analysed wavefront in real time thus, facilitating the aberrometry analysis of the human eye optical system. An investigation of multi-channel analysers was performed on test ex- amples and the applicability of the techniques in solving particular applications are defined.
