Abstract: | Results of theoretical estimation of the sensitivity of a shear speckle interferometer intended for testing of wavefront aberrations
are presented. It is shown that in the case of the spherical aberration the sensitivity of the interferometer is doubled to
an accuracy of 12.5% for a fixed shear magnitude.
