Spatial-heterodyne interferometry is a robust solution for deep-turbulence wavefront sensing. With that said, this paper analyzes the focal-plane array sampling requirements for spatial-heterodyne systems operating in the off-axis pupil plane recording geometry. To assess spatial-heterodyne performance, we use a metric referred to as the field-estimated Strehl ratio. We first develop an analytical description of performance with respect to the number of focal-plane array pixels across the Fried coherence diameter and then verify our results with wave-optics simulations. The analysis indicates that at approximately 5 focal-plane array pixels across the Fried coherence diameter, the field-estimated Strehl ratios begin to exceed 0:9 which is indicative of largely diffraction-limited results.
