Abstract
We show that a small-scale wave front can be reconstructed by an algebraic procedure from its intensity distribution in the focal plane, except for the ambiguities of the piston phase and the point-symmetrical solution of the complex conjugate. Details of the reconstruction procedure for a 3 × 3 wave front are presented, and the effectiveness of this procedure for a contaminated case is shown by computer simulation. A method for overcoming the ambiguity problem resulting from the point-symmetrical solution is also suggested.
