Metasurfaces in Adaptive Optics: A New Opportunity in Optical Wavefront Sensing
Laser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 19, Issue 24, December 17, 2025.Wavefront sensing constitutes a critical component of adaptive optics systems, aimed at quantitatively measuring distorted wavefronts and enabling closed‐loop correction in optical setups. Metasurfaces, as planar optical elements composed of nanoscale structures, provide exceptional freedom in modulating multiple dimensions of the light field.

Atmosphere-like turbulence generation with surface-etched phase-screens [PDF]
, 2006 We built and characterized an optical system that emulates the optical characteristics of an 8m-class telescope like the Very Large Telescope. The system contains rotating glass phase-screens to generate realistic atmosphere-like optical turbulence, as ...

Spin‐Orbit Photonics with Potato Starch Lenses
Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 21, July 25, 2025.Native potato starch spherulites are introduced as volumetric optical elements that modulate both dynamic and geometric phases of light. These spherulites focus light and generate optical vortices via spin‐orbit interaction, functioning as polarization‐sensitive microlenses. Their unique radial anisotropy enables applications in vortex beam generation,

A new low-cost, compact, auto-phoropter for refractive assessment in developing countries
Scientific Reports, 2017 Using a phoropter to measure the refractive error is one of the most commonly used methods by ophthalmologists and optometrists. Here, we demonstrate design and fabrication of a portable automatic phoropter with no need for patient’s feedback. The system

Gaia in-orbit realignment. Overview and data analysis
, 2012 The ESA Gaia spacecraft has two Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors (WFS) on its focal plane. They are required to refocus the telescope in-orbit due to launch settings and gravity release. They require bright stars to provide good signal to noise patterns.
