Accuracy of the ReRRCA algorithm using the Ronchi test

A method based on a variant of genetic algorithm is proposed to obtain the wavefront aberrations of a real ronchigrams using only one ronchigram without using polynomial fit or trapezoidal integration. The recovery of the aberration coefficients of third order is achieved by assigning random values but controlled in the equation of the optical path difference (OPD)which is given for a lateral shear interferometer. The proposed method retrieves the coefficients of the polynomial of the analyzed Ronchigram in a reliable and accurate way.
