Researchers from the Optics Group at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón have managed to correct in real time problems ...

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 ...

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 ...

Adaptive optics (AO) systems are critical in the modern enhancement of optical imaging and laser systems. By dynamically correcting wavefront aberrations in real time, these systems substantially ...

Deformable mirrors (DMs) and adaptive optics systems represent a significant advancement in the control of optical wavefronts, with applications spanning astronomical instrumentation, high-power laser ...

Piezo ceramic actuators combine rapid response with high resolution and high force generation, ideal prerequisites to drive highly-dynamic deformable mirrors. The principle has been used in adaptive ...

Ground-based optical telescopes routinely make use of artificial guide stars, generated at around 90 kilometers altitude by the action of a laser beam energising atoms in the atmosphere's sodium layer ...
