Abstract (EN):
Non-linear curvature wave-front sensing (nlCWFS) delivers outstanding sensitivity and high dynamic range by lifting the linearity constraint of standard curvature wave-front sensing and working in the non-linear Fresnel (near-field) regime [Guyon, 2010]. The goals of this paper are twofold: 1) revisit the phase-diversity PD formalism and attempt to use this framework, originally developed for the Fraunhofer (far-field) regime, with nlCWFS signals and 2) develop formulae making explicit use of the Fresnel regime for later use with gradient-based non-linear minimisation methods.
