Abstract
A wavefront phase imager is provided for optical communications. The wavefront imager can be an optical system that can measure and/or correct for the distortions in a monochromatic wavefront, A measurement configuration of the wavefront imager can operate in the spatial Fourier space and use interference of the incoming light to the measure the phase shift or distortion of the monochromatic wavefront. A correction configuration of the wavefront imager can also operate in the spatial Fourier space and make corresponding adjustments to the monochromatic wavefront such that the resultant wavefront from the wavefront imager has a constant phase.
