38 WFS Series

4.1.2

Coordinate Definitions

The WFS series Wavefront Sensors is using a orthogonal right-hand coordinate

system (x,y,z) that is defined as follows:

Imagine you are within the Wavefront Sensor and are looking towards the light

source. Then the x-direction points towards right and the y-direction points up

whereas the optical beam to be analyzed is propagating in z direction towards the

entrance aperture of the Wavefront Sensor.

The graphs within the Wavefront Sensor GUI (Spotfield, Beamview) are defined the

same way, that is the positive x axis points rightwards and the y axis points

upwards.
