Interferometric wavefront sensing for extreme adaptive optics [PDF]

, 2004
Adaptive optics is concerned with the correction of phase distortions in wavefronts which degrade the quality of images produced by optical systems. It was originally developed for both astronomy and the military, where the Earth's atmosphere causes ...

The GMT adaptive optics system

, 2016
The design of the adaptive optics (AO) system for the GMT is currently being developed. The baseline system is planned around a segmented adaptive secondary mirror (ASM), with elements similar in size to current ASM's for 8 m telescopes.

Fast Restoration of Aberration-Degraded Extended Object Based on Local Region Abstraction

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2018
The compensating capability of wavefront sensorless adaptive optics (WFSless AO) system for extended object images degraded by aberration is severely limited to correction speed due to largely sized images and low frame rate of camera.

High-resolution visible imaging with piezoelectric deformable secondary mirror: experimental results at the 1.8-m adaptive telescope

Opto-Electronic Advances, 2023
Integrating deformable mirrors within the optical train of an adaptive telescope was one of the major innovations in astronomical observation technology, distinguished by its high optical throughput, reduced optical surfaces, and the incorporation of the

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Non-Appearance-Based Discrimination of UAVs and Birds in Optical Remote Sensing: Using Kinematic and Time–Frequency Features

Drones
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and birds are typical low-altitude small targets in optical remote sensing, often occupying only a few pixels and exhibiting highly similar appearances, which limits the effectiveness of appearance-based discrimination at ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Micro-machined membrane deformable mirrors for cryogenic adaptive optics [PDF]

, 2002
In this Thesis, the suitability of 37 actuator Micro-machined membrane deformable mirrors (MMDM) for adaptive optics at cryogenic temperatures is evaluated. A method is described to safely cool MMDMs to 78K. The initial surface figures of three MMDMs are
