This paper investigates wavefront sensors, such as the pyramid sensor, that subdivide the complex field at the origin of the focal plane into <i>N</i> equal segments. This can be physically realized with either an <i>N</i>-sided prism or by a lenslet array in the focal plane. An alternative reconstruction technique for the pyramid is also proposed to increase the performance of the sensor.Read More
