| contents | Single-shot hyperspectral wavefront sensing is essential for applications like spatio-spectral coupling metrology in high power laser or fast material dispersion imaging. Under broadband illumination, traditional wavefront sensors assume an achromatic wavefront, which makes them unsuitable. We introduce a hyperspectral wavefront sensing scheme based on the Hartmann wavefront sensing principles, employing a multicore fiber as a modified Hartmann mask to overcome these limitations. Our system leverages the angular memory effect and spectral decorrelation from the multicore fiber, encoding wavefront gradients into displacements and the spectral information into uncorrelated patterns. This method retains the simplicity, compactness, and single-shot capability of conventional wavefront sensors, with only a slight increase in computational complexity. It also allows a tunable trade-off between spatial and spectral resolution. We demonstrate its efficacy for recording the hyperspectral wavefront cube from single-pulse acquisitions at the Apollon multi-PW laser facility, and for performing multispectral microscopic imaging of dispersive phase objects. |
