Wide-Aperture Bimorph Deformable Mirror for Beam Focusing in 4.2 PW Ti:Sa Laser

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The bimorph deformable mirror with a diameter of 320 mm, including 127 control electrodes, has been developed and tested. The flatness of the initial mirror surface of about 1 μm (P-V) was achieved by mechanically adjusting the mirror substrate fixed in ...

Simplifying the detection of optical distortions by machine learning [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2020
Adaptive optics has been widely used in biological science to recover high-resolution optical image deep into the tissue, where optical distortion detection with high speed and accuracy is strongly required.

Optical measurements of phase steps in segmented mirrors - fundamental precision limits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Phase steps are an important type of wavefront aberrations generated by large telescopes with segmented mirrors. In a closed-loop correction cycle these phase steps have to be measured with the highest possible precision using natural reference stars ...

Wavefront aberrations in aging measured with Hartmann-Shack at 3- and 5-mm pupil sizes. [PDF]

open access: yesOptom Vis Sci
SIGNIFICANCE Visual acuity (VA) depends on many factors. When the goal is to assess retinal health rather than performance, then using a 3‐mm pupil reduces unwanted wavefront aberrations. The axis of astigmatism can still potentially change with age.

Reinforcement Learning Environment for Wavefront Sensorless Adaptive Optics in Single-Mode Fiber Coupled Optical Satellite Communications Downlinks

open access: yesPhotonics, 2023
Optical satellite communications (OSC) downlinks can support much higher bandwidths than radio-frequency channels. However, atmospheric turbulence degrades the optical beam wavefront, leading to reduced data transfer rates.

Wavefront image sensor chip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We report the implementation of an image sensor chip, termed wavefront image sensor chip (WIS), that can measure both intensity/amplitude and phase front variations of a light wave separately and quantitatively.

Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor with large dynamic range [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Optics, 2010
A new spot centroid detection algorithm for a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS) is experimentally investigated. The algorithm is a kind of dynamic tracking algorithm that tracks and calculates the corresponding spot centroid of the current spot map based on the spot centroid of the previous spot map, according to the strong correlation of the ...

Robust control of a bimorph mirror for adaptive optics system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We apply robust control technics to an adaptive optics system including a dynamic model of the deformable mirror. The dynamic model of the mirror is a modification of the usual plate equation. We propose also a state-space approach to model the turbulent

Wavefront Reconstruction of Shack-Hartmann with Under-Sampling of Sub-Apertures

open access: yesPhotonics, 2023
Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor plays a key role in adaptive optics (AO) systems, which detect the aberrant wavefront by an array of micro-lenslets across the aperture pupil.

Lateral Shearing Interferometry based on a Polarization Grating for Wavefront Sensing [PDF]

open access: yes한국정밀공학회지, 2022
In this investigation, we propose a simple and effective lateral shearing interferometer based on a polarization grating. In the lateral shearing device, an incident beam is split into two beams by a polarization grating, and the returning beams can be ...
