September 24, 2014 – A technique developed by astronomers seeking a clear view of distant objects in space is being intensively studied as a new approach to measuring and correcting visual ...

Adaptive optics (AO) systems play a pivotal role in mitigating the deleterious effects of atmospheric turbulence and optical aberrations, thereby enhancing the resolution and imaging quality in fields ...

Researchers have devised a novel technique to 'flip' the optical wavefront of an image for both polarizations simultaneously, so that it can be transmitted through a multimode fiber without distortion ...

Whether it's adjusting a telescope or focusing a laser beam to a small spot, wavefront sensing can help. Xavier Levecq explains the technique and the options available. Measuring the wavefront ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.200082 reviews intelligent adaptive optics. Adaptive optics technology can correct the dynamic aberrations of optical system at ...

A new imaging technique known as wavefront coding is helping designers to reduce the cost and weight of imaging systems. Andrew Harvey and Gonzalo Muyo look at how the technique is being applied to ...

Researchers have pushed light control into a regime that used to belong strictly to theory, steering optical waves at the ...

For astronomers, it’s a magical moment: you’re staring at a monitor, and a blurry image of a cosmological object sharpens up, revealing new details. We call this “closing the loop,” a reference to the ...

ABSTRACT The corrected field of view of an adaptive optics system is thought to provide a severe limitation on the usefulness of an adaptive optics system. We show that under good seeing conditions, ...

WaveFront Dynamics Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company, announced today the commercial launch of its dynamic aberrometry measurement system, the WaveDyn Vision Analyzer. The WaveDyn Vision ...
