It is essential that strict wavefront error (WFE) budgets be met when designing and manufacturing space telescope optics. These performance thresholds dictate a telescope’s ability to clearly and ...

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 ...

ROCHESTER, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Clerio Vision, Inc., a developer of next-generation laser-based vision correction platforms, today announced that it will be delivering two key ...

Discover how high-speed wavefront sensing enhances space situational awareness by overcoming atmospheric distortion.

Researchers at Caltech make progress in medical imaging by adapting astronomical optics. A reflector shapes light waves to counterbalance distortion. Researchers in Caltech’s Andrew and Peggy Cherng ...

Lithium niobate (LN) powers a newly developed optical metasurface for shaping and guiding light waves. Leveraging the electro-optical effect of lithium niobate, the device applies different electric ...

Yes, it can! This is one facet of adaptive optics, which astronomical observatories can use to compensate for distortions in astronomical images caused by our atmosphere. Let’s set the stage first: ...

Dispersion is an inherent feature of electromagnetic waves. It allows light to behave differently at different wavelengths, ...

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, ...
