Researchers have devised a novel technique to 'flip' the optical wavefront of an image for both polarizations simultaneously, so that it can be transmitted through a multimode fiber without distortion ...

Adaptive optics, a technique used in professional astronomical observatories, corrects for atmospheric distortion of starlight, leading to sharper images. This is achieved not through telescope ...

A quantum optics approach relying on symmetry breaking allows wavefront correction without using a guide star.

Researchers at Caltech make progress in medical imaging by adapting astronomical optics. A reflector shapes light waves to counterbalance distortion. Researchers in Caltech’s Andrew and Peggy Cherng ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.200082 reviews intelligent adaptive optics. Adaptive optics technology can correct the dynamic aberrations of optical system at ...

Recently, laser scientists at the Center for Relativistic Laser Science (CoReLS) within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in South Korea realized the unprecedented laser intensity of 1023 W/cm2.

ABSTRACT.Axially symmetric telescopes produce well-known Seidel off-axis third-order aberration patterns: coma, astigmatism, curvature of field, and distortion. When axial symmetry is broken by the ...
