Optical differentiation
We perform 4 different intensity measurements, 2 with the mask slope along the x direction and 2 with the mask slope along the y direction

The resolution is controlled by the size of the differentiation mask

Performance analysis
The optimum size of the mask is related to the atmospheric conditions

Multi-object operation: could be used in MCAO systems
Multi-object sensing
Simultaneously use the light from different reference stars to estimate its wavefront phase derivative independently

Estimate of the second derivativeThe optical differentiation can be extended to higher order derivatives by modifying the focal plane mask

To retain information about the sign is necessary to use a differentiation mask
Conclusions
- The optical differentiation sensor is a high resolution sensor - It is able to estimate the first or the second derivative- It provides measurements not affected by scintillation- Multi-object sensor
