The ability to achieve high-resolution optical imaging is essential in a variety of applications including astronomy and microscopy. Light can be perturbed when propagating through optical systems or ...

The W. M. Keck Observatory and ALPAO have announced that they are partnering to develop an adaptive optics system for the Keck II 10-meter telescope, located on Maunakea, Hawaii. The firms are working ...

PIRest, a technology, best described as programmable piezo shims, can maintain position without power, and adjust thickness in increments on the nanometer scale and below. The combination of PIRest ...

Scientists have produced the finest images of the Sun's corona to date. To make these high-resolution images and movies, the team developed a new 'coronal adaptive optics' system that removes blur ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA–Adaptive optics technology can remove the blurring effect of the Earth’s atmosphere that has long plagued astronomers, allowing ground-based telescopes to achieve a clarity of vision ...

For astronomers, it’s a magical moment: you’re staring at a monitor, and a blurry image of a cosmological object sharpens up, revealing new details. We call this “closing the loop,” a reference to the ...

Structured light passing through a noisy environment gets distorted (a), but if another unstructured beam also gains the same distortion, the effect can be undone by mixing them in a nonlinear crystal ...
