Abstract
We examine the general problem of wavefront measurement of coherent li ght, and present a method for the recovery of the object field from it s diffraction pattern. This method is based on the combined applicatio n of the amplitude-phase relationship of the wavefront and an iteratio n procedure, and is limited only by the size of the object-space apert ure. The results of simultaneous as well as experimental data attest t o a high accuracy for the described method.
