Abstract
Modern astronomic telescopes take advantage of multi-conjugate adaptive optics, in which wavefront sensors play a key role. A single sensor capable of measuring wavefront phases at any angle of observation would be helpful when improving atmospheric tomographic reconstruction. A new sensor combining both geometric and plenoptic arrangements is proposed, and a simulation demonstrating its working principle is also shown. Results show that this sensor is feasible, and also that single extended objects can be used to perform tomography of atmospheric turbulence.
