Several sensor-less wavefront aberration correction methods that correct nonlinear wavefront aberrations by maximizing the optical coherence tomography (OCT) signal are tested on an OCT setup. A conventional coordinate search method is compared to two model-based optimization methods. The first model-based method takes advantage of the well-known optimization algorithm (NEWUOA) and utilizes a quadratic model. The second model-based method (DONE) is new and utilizes a random multidimensional Fourier-basis expansion. The model-based algorithms achieve lower wavefront errors with up to ten times fewer measurements. Furthermore, the newly proposed DONE method outperforms the NEWUOA method significantly. The DONE algorithm is tested on OCT images and shows a significantly improved image quality.

Sensor-less adaptive optics based on stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) is effective for the compensation of atmospheric disturbances in coherent free-space optical communication systems. However, SPGD converges slowly and easily falls into local extremes. Combining adaptive moment estimation and SPGD, we propose the AdamSPGD algorithm for efficient wavefront correction.

The two-photon fluorescence imaging depth has been significantly improved in recent years by compensating for tissue scattering with wavefront correction. However, in most approaches the wavefront corrections are valid only over a small sample region on the order of 1 to 10 µm. In samples where most scattering structures are confined to a single plane, sample conjugate correction geometries can increase the observable field to a few tens of µm.

Image degradation due to wavefront aberrations can be corrected with adaptive optics (AO). In a typical AO configuration, the aberrations are measured directly using a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor and corrected with a deformable mirror in order to attain diffraction limited performance for the main imaging system. Wavefront sensor-less adaptive optics (SAO) uses the image information directly to determine the aberrations and provide guidance for shaping the deformable mirror, often iteratively.

The method combines mode recognition and the wavefront sensor-less (WFS-less) adaptive optics (AO) by utilizing a jointly trained convolutional neural network (CNN) with the shared model backbone. The CNN-based AO method is implicitly applied in the system by providing additional mode information in the offline training process and accordingly the system structure is rather concise with no extra AO components needed.

Both wavefront sensor and wavefront sensor-less approaches show that the closed-loop correction of a laser beam can be accomplished by exploiting high-resolution sampling of the beam distortion in its spatial or time domain, respectively. Moreover, machine-learning-based wavefront sensing has emerged recently, and uses training data on an arbitrary sensing architecture to map observed data to reasonable wavefront reconstructions.
