Abstract

We demonstrate an addressable array (5-by-5) of high-quality microlenses applied to a Shack-Hartmann (SH) sensor in a microoptical system. Specific lenses in the array can be addressed using a new selection scheme (that we have designed, built, and tested) in which the mechanical resonant frequencies of individual lenssupport carriages are varied. Thus, by changing the frequency of the drive voltage, we require only two electrical connections per row in the lens system to identify the selected lens by its resonating focal image. We show that using this lensidentification method allows us to improve the dynamic range of Shack-Hartmann sensors by 2600-4600% over values attained in conventional SH designs.
