Traditional phase retrieval methods for Ronchi lateral shearing interferometry eliminate the impact of high diffraction orders by increasing the number of phase-shifting interferograms, however, this introduces additional error in the phase-shifting process. We propose an optimization method combining a 2-frame phase-shifting algorithm to achieve accurate wavefront reconstruction. A numerical model matching the physical model is constructed and the cross-iterative gradient descent method is used to optimize the initial results obtained by the two-step phase-shifting method. The accuracy and robustness of the method are verified by simulations and experiments. The proposed method has the advantages of achieving high-precision wavefront reconstruction and correcting the phase-shifting errors, and it significantly simplifies the process of phase shift.
