RESUMEN
Multi-line-of-sight wavefront sensing, crucial for next-generation astronomy and laser applications, often increases system complexity by adding sensors. This research introduces, to the best of our knowledge, a novel method for multi-line-of-sight Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensing by using a single sensor, addressing challenges in centroid estimation and classification under atmospheric turbulence. This method contrasts with existing techniques that rely on multiple sensors, thereby reducing system complexity. Innovations include combining edge detection and peak extraction for precise centroid calculation, improved k-means clustering for robust centroid classification, and a centroid filling algorithm for subapertures with light loss. The method's effectiveness was confirmed through simulations for a five-line-of-sight system and experimental setup for two-line and three-line-of-sight systems, demonstrating its potential in real atmospheric aberration correction conditions. Experimental findings indicate that, when implemented in a closed-loop configuration, the method significantly reduces wavefront residuals from 1 λ to 0.1 λ under authentic atmospheric turbulence conditions. Correspondingly, the quality of the far-field spot is enhanced by a factor of 2 to 4. These outcomes collectively highlight the method's robust capability in enhancing optical system performance in environments characterized by genuine atmospheric turbulence.
