What is it about?

This is the first Journal paper to systematically describe the use of a plenoptic sensor based on light field imaging principles to image and reconstruct a laser beam of arbitrary phase structure.

Why is it important?

The plenoptic sensor shows its high capacity to solve complicated wavefront sensing problem can extend conventional wavefront sensing regimes from weak turbulence to strong or deep turbulence situations.

Perspectives

Chensheng Wu is currently working as a postdoctoral research associate in University of Maryland College Park. Dr. Wu has successfully modified the light field cameras into a wavefront sensor (the plenoptic sensor) that can be used to solve coherent wave detection problems.
