A Demonstration of Wavefront Sensing and Mirror Phasing from the Image Domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In astronomy and microscopy, distortions in the wavefront affect the dynamic range of a high contrast imaging system. These aberrations are either imposed by a turbulent medium such as the atmosphere, by static or thermal aberrations in the optical path,

Measurement of the radius of curvature of a spherical surface based on the transport-of-intensity equation

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2022
The transport-of-intensity equation provides a new non-interferometric and non-iterative access to quantitative information about the phase of a light wave by measuring intensity distributions. This equation can be used to implement a simple and accurate

The coronagraphic Modal Wavefront Sensor: a hybrid focal-plane sensor for the high-contrast imaging of circumstellar environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The raw coronagraphic performance of current high-contrast imaging instruments is limited by the presence of a quasi-static speckle (QSS) background, resulting from instrumental non-common path errors (NCPEs).

Evolution of refractive surgeries

open access: yesMuller Journal of Medical Sciences and Research, 2017
The use of surgical procedures to correct refractive errors of the eye has come a long way. The two main types are corneal procedures and intraocular procedures.

Possible Application of Wavefront Coding to the LSST [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Wavefront Coding has been applied as a means to increase the effective depth of focus of optical systems. In this note I discuss the potential for this technique to increase the depth of focus of the LSST and the resulting advantages for the construction

Telescope to Observe Planetary Systems (TOPS): a high throughput 1.2-m visible telescope with a small inner working angle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The Telescope to Observe Planetary Systems (TOPS) is a proposed space mission to image in the visible (0.4-0.9 micron) planetary systems of nearby stars simultaneously in 16 spectral bands (resolution R~20). For the ~10 most favorable stars, it will have

The Deformable Mirror Demonstration Mission (DeMi) CubeSat: optomechanical design validation and laboratory calibration

open access: yes, 2018
Coronagraphs on future space telescopes will require precise wavefront correction to detect Earth-like exoplanets near their host stars. High-actuator count microelectromechanical system (MEMS) deformable mirrors provide wavefront control with low size ...

Flow structure and optical beam propagation in high-Reynolds-number gas-phase shear layers and jets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We report on the structure of the scalar index-of-refraction field generated by turbulent, gas-phase, incompressible and compressible shear layers and incompressible jets, and on associated beam-propagation aero-optical phenomena.

MORPHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTIONS USING THREE-DIMENSIONAL WAVEFRONTS

open access: yesImage Analysis and Stereology, 2011
The present study deals with the analysis of three-dimensional binary objects whose structure is not obvious nor generally clearly visible. Our approach is illustrated through three examples taken from biological microscopy.

Deep Learning-Based Prediction Algorithm on Atmospheric Turbulence-Induced Wavefront for Adaptive Optics

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2022
Correction performance of an adaptive optics (AO) system is severely limited by its system latency under high temporal frequency distortions. Wavefront prediction methods has been proven to be an effective way to compensate system delay.
