Adaptive optics systems utilize advanced computer control to manipulate optical components in order to improve the fidelity of optical measurements. In this project, the student will work with ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA--The same technology that astronomers are using to sharpen the images from ground-based telescopes is also giving eye specialists better techniques for studying and correcting human ...

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 ...

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 ...

Adaptive optics is a transformative technology that corrects distortions in optical wavefronts in real time, thereby enhancing image clarity in a diverse set of applications ranging from astronomical ...

New Technology Brings Space Telescope Image Quality Down to Earth, Offering Astronomical Image Clarity Never Seen Before The next generation of adaptive optics has arrived at the Large Binocular ...

French firm CILAS, which specializes in lasers and photonics technologies for military and astronomy applications, has signed an agreement to make some critical optical components for the Thirty Meter ...

It’s sometimes easy to forget that the light in the sky is an actual star. With how reliable it is and how busy we tend to be as humans, we can take that incredible fact and stow it away and largely ...

The quantification of large optics demands metrology systems that operate in the context of turbulence, vibration and additional challenges. Figure 1. Measurement of large optics, such as this 8-meter ...

As frustrating as having an atmosphere can be for physicists, it’s just as bad for astronomers, who have to deal with clouds, atmospheric absorption of certain wavelengths, and other irritations. One ...

The next generation of adaptive optics has arrived at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) in Arizona, providing astronomers with a new level of image sharpness never before seen. Developed in a ...
