Adaptive optics (AO) systems play a pivotal role in mitigating the deleterious effects of atmospheric turbulence and optical aberrations, thereby enhancing the resolution and imaging quality in fields ...

Whether it's adjusting a telescope or focusing a laser beam to a small spot, wavefront sensing can help. Xavier Levecq explains the technique and the options available. Measuring the wavefront ...

Phasics is the world leader and a pioneer in high-resolution wavefront sensing dedicated to beam testing and optics metrology. Based on its patented Quadri-Wave Lateral Shearing Interferometry (QWLSI) ...

Discover how high-speed wavefront sensing enhances space situational awareness by overcoming atmospheric distortion.

Fig. 1: Simplified overview of the optical setup. The rays of the fluorescence particle are refracted by the fluctuating water-air interface. Because this aberrating layer can be considered planar, ...
