Schematic of optical setup used to acquire wavefront data. Red laser light is
collimated and passed through linear polarizers (LP), a polarizing beam-splitter
(PBS), a 5x beam expander, a quarter-wave plate, a deformable mirror (DM), and a
relay telescope before being measured by a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor
(SHWFS). The symbols represent the polarization of the light while traveling
from left to right in the system.
