Unlike previous methods, this scheme permits the calibration of system aberration modes without the need for a separate wavefront sensor or interferometer. Basis modes are derived from the deformable mirror influence functions and an image cross-correlation method is used to remove image displacement effects from these modes. Image based measurements are used to derive an optimum modal representation from the displacement-free basis modes. These new modes are insensitive to system misalignments and the shape of the illumination profile. We demonstrate the effectiveness TI - Self calibration of sensorless adaptive optical microscopes JF - Journal of the European Optical Society: Rapid Publications DO - 10.2971/jeos.2011.11045 DA - 2011-09-07 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/self-calibration-of-sensorless-adaptive-optical-microscopes-0NHF33mc0Q DP - DeepDyve ER -
