We introduce a transmissive refractive adaptive optics system featuring a deformable transparent optofluidic wavefront modulator and a sensorless wavefront error estimation algorithm. The wavefront modulator consists of a cavity filled with an optical liquid which is sealed by a deformable elastic polymer membrane.

From the earliest days and nights of telescopic astronomy, atmospheric turbulence has been a serious detriment to optical performance. The new technology of adaptive optics can overcome this problem by compensating for the wavefront distortion that results from turbulence.

Adaptive optics with adaptive filtering and control
Proceedings of the 2004 American Control Conference, 2004This paper presents a quasi adaptive control method for adaptive optics. Adaptive compensation is needed in many adaptive optics applications because wind velocities and the strength of atmospheric turbulence can change rapidly, rendering any fixed-gain reconstruction algorithm far from optimal.

Adaptive control in an adaptive optics experiment
Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2010This paper presents results from an adaptive optics experiment in which an adaptive control loop augments a classical adaptive optics feedback loop. Closed-loop wavefront errors measured by a self-referencing interferometer are fed back to the control loops, which drive a membrane deformable mirror to correct the wavefront.

There are two different approaches for improving the accuracy of analog optical associative processors: postprocessing with a bimodal system and preprocessing with a preconditioner. These two approaches can be combined to develop an adaptive optical multiprocessor that can adjust the computational steps depending on the data and produce solutions of ...

Optimal and adaptive control of aero-optical wavefronts for adaptive optics
Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2012This paper compares two control methods to predict and correct aero-optical wavefronts derived from recent flight-test data. The first is an optimal linear time-invariant controller constructed from an identified state-space model of the turbulence flow.

The transversal filter is widely used in digital data processing. In this paper, we describe a method for using optically tapped, Bragg cell delay lines to implement a general adaptive linear prediction algorithm. Flexibility is achieved through changing the electronic signals.

Adaptive Optics Ophthalmoscopy
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2000ABSTRACT Retinal images in the human eye are normally degraded because we are forced to use the optical system of the human eye- which is fraught with aberrations - as the objective lens. The recent application of adaptive optics technology to measure and compensate for these aberrations has produced retinal images in human eyes with ...

Adaptive optics and multi-conjugate adaptive optics with the VTT
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2002We are currently developing adaptive optics (AO) system with a multi-conjugate extension for the German solar vacuum tower telescope (VTT) at the Teide Observatory on Tenerife.Multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) is a technique for increasing the field of view by compensating atmospheric turbulence along several, adjacent lines of sight.

The goal of the corrector is to correct for monochromatic aberrations by flattening the wavefront. It is arguably the most important component in an adaptive optics (AO) system. The majority of AO systems use mirrors that can change their shape or deform, hence the name deformable mirrors.
