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 ...

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 ...

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 University of Arizona’s Magellan Adaptive Optics Xtreme instrument, combined with a six-and-a-half meter ground-based telescope, has imaged protoplanets in sharp detail. By capturing images of the ...

The 5.4 km free-space quantum communication link between the University of Ottawa and the National Research Council Canada, where real-time atmospheric turbulence measurements were conducted to train ...

Scientists have produced the finest images of the Sun's corona to date. To make these high-resolution images and movies, the team developed a new 'coronal adaptive optics' system that removes blur ...
