In the quest for ultra-secure, long-range quantum communication, two major challenges stand in the way: the unpredictable ...

The four laser beams excite sodium atoms in the atmosphere to make for better cosmic observations. The post Incredible photos ...

The demand for high-speed internet has been growing in recent years. The global internet traffic is also growing by 25% ...

Astronomers using a cutting-edge adaptive optics instrument, MagAO-X, have captured unprecedented images of young planets ...

Another finding was how dramatically the planets varied in brightness over just three years. The team discovered that PDS 70 b dropped to about one-fifth of its original brightness, whereas PDS 70 c ...

The Kennedy College of Sciences, Department of Physics and Applied Physics, invites you to attend a Master’s thesis defense by Michael Jones on "Adaptive Optics Wavefront Stabilization Using a ...

The Magellan Adaptive Optics Xtreme (MagAO-X) has provided some of the clearest images ever taken of planets forming around a ...

Wooptix, a startup company in Spain that has developed adaptive optics for semiconductor metrology applications, says it has raised €10 million in its latest round of venture funding. The series C ...

By combining these technologies AOS developed both conventional wavefront-sensor adaptive optics systems and metric AO systems. The most recent work at AOS has been in demonstrating laser beam shaping ...

Adaptive optics relies on wave-front sensors to measure aberrations in light coming into a telescope, camera, or similar system, and then uses deformable mirrors to correct those aberrations.
