September 24, 2014 – A technique developed by astronomers seeking a clear view of distant objects in space is being intensively studied as a new approach to measuring and correcting visual ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have devised a novel technique to 'flip' the optical wavefront of an image for both polarizations simultaneously, so that it can be transmitted through a multimode fiber without distortion ...

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

Wavefront Dynamics (WaveDyn), a startup company working on wavefront sensing technology for vision correction, says it has closed the first tranche of a planned $3 million round of series A funding.

Video capture of the dynamic optical system enables highly accurate objective refractions. 1 Subjective confirmation of objective refraction. Ultra-high-resolution Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor ...

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 ...
