Adaptive optics is a class of components that can be added to optical systems to improve their performance. They do this by reducing the incoming wave distortions which can arise due to natural ...

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 ...

Stars in the night sky appear to twinkle because air moving in the atmosphere disrupts starlight before it reaches our eyes. While this phenomenon might make for a great nursery rhyme, it causes major ...
