Concepts, measurement, and reconstruction techniques for the wavefront of optical beams are considered. The significance of the wavefront is discussed in terms of correctability, beam-propagation, and quality, for increasing levels of complexity, reaching from the geometric optical approximation to the scalar theory of partial coherent beams. Experimental results are presented for the Hartmann-Shack sensor.
