Wavefront sensing

A circular tunnel with concentric lines converging towards a bright light at the end, symbolizing wavefront sensing, an optical technique used to measure light wave aberrations.

An optical technique used to measure aberrations in an incoming light wave. By analysing how a wavefront deviates from a perfect plane, engineers can compute the exact physical corrections needed for an active mirror to restore a sharp, focused image.
