摘要
As a wavefront sensor, the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor plays an important role in the wavefront measurement of human eyes. However, the low measurement accuracy and the small dynamic range of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor limit its application. In this paper, we present a matched-filter algorithm to improve the measurement accuracy by more than an order of magnitude. Moreover, we also introduce a new algorithm to extend the dynamic range of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. With this method, the recorded spots of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor are not constrained to stay in the corresponding pixel area of the microlens. The result shows that the dynamic range can be extended from 57.1 to 160% for the first 24 items of Zernike wavefronts, respectively. The improvement by our methods makes the Shack-Hartmann more suitable for the measurement of highly aberrated eyes.
