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 ...

Whether it's adjusting a telescope or focusing a laser beam to a small spot, wavefront sensing can help. Xavier Levecq explains the technique and the options available. Measuring the wavefront ...

Phasics is the world leader and a pioneer in high-resolution wavefront sensing dedicated to beam testing and optics metrology. Based on its patented Quadri-Wave Lateral Shearing Interferometry (QWLSI) ...

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: ...
