Correlation matching method for optical vortex detection using Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor

We report a correlation matching algorithm for position detection of optical vortices using a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. The accuracy experientially confirmed was 0.056, in units of lens-size of lenslet array used in the wavefront sensor.
