Phase retrieval determines the phase error or aberrations of an optical system. James R. Fienup established the use of phase retrieval in the early 1980’s to determine the aberrations in the Hubble Space Telescope. [Fienup's methodology] is especially useful for optical systems in space, where direct testing cannot be used.

Lou Massery's perfect Math SAT and Matt Likavec's acceptance at Harvard Medical notwithstanding, Jim Fienup was probably the smartest person at Holy Cross 1966-70. I was his bodyguard and was under orders to make sure none of the wild football and ice hockey players in the Mulledy dormitory ever bothered him. The Dean of Men gave me the job because I was the light-heavyweight fisticuffs champion of the Queens-Nassau Junior Hockey. Queens-Nassau became the Metropolitan Hockey League, which is renown for sending Hall of Famer Joe Mullen to the National Hockey League. I called Mullen up when he was a senior at Power Memorial and asked him if he wanted to go to Holy Cross. He said where's Holy Cross. Pause... you've got a point there kid. It will be a while before Holy Cross is on the big time hockey map. You need to try for a place like BC (the Worcester Arena isn't for you). I knew he was going to be good, but not that good.
Are you people really that gullible? Fienup really did help save the Hubble Space Telescope and I really did ask Joe Mullen if he was interested in Holy Cross. But nobody, but nobody, needed a bodyguard at Holy Cross. The dormitory hall I supervised as an RA was usually so quiet you could camp out on the dorm hall floor and get a good night's sleep.
