Provides methods for measurement and evaluation of the wavefront distribution function in a transverse plane of a laser beam utilizing Hartmann or Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors. Applicable to fully coherent, partially coherent and general astigmatic laser beams, both for pulsed and continuous operation.
