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 ...

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 ...

Adaptive optics is a class of components that can be added to optical systems to improve their performance. They do this by reducing the incoming wave distortions which can arise due to natural ...
