Single conjugate adaptive optics for the ELT instrument METIS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The ELT is a 39m large, ground-based optical and near- to mid-infrared telescope under construction in the Chilean Atacama desert. Operation is planned to start around the middle of the next decade.

Rhythmic Calcium Events in the Lamina Propria Network of the Urinary Bladder of Rat Pups

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2017
The lamina propria contains a dense network of cells, including interstitial cells (ICs), that may play a role in bladder function by modulating communication between urothelium, nerve fibers and smooth muscle or acting as pacemakers.

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 ...

Quasi-static aberrations induced by laser guide stars in adaptive optics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics (LGS AO) systems use the return from an artificial guide star to measure the wavefront aberrations in the direction of the science object.

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

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.

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).

Demonstrating backflow in classical two beams’ interference

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2022
The well-known interference pattern of bright and dark fringes was first observed for light beams back in 1801 by Thomas Young. The maximum visibility fringes occur when the irradiance of the two beams is equal, and as the ratio of the beam intensities ...

Influence of Image Processing Method on Wavefront Reconstruction Accuracy of Large-Aperture Laser

open access: yesPhotonics, 2023
In order to improve the wavefront reconstruction accuracy of a large-aperture laser, this paper proposed an adaptive window preprocessing algorithm based on the threshold center of gravity method (AW-TCoG).
