Adaptive optics (AO) systems are critical in the modern enhancement of optical imaging and laser systems. By dynamically correcting wavefront aberrations in real time, these systems substantially ...
Micro-optics are enabling new generations of compact optical devices thanks to their functionality and cost-efficiency. Thomas Asshauer and Matthias Merschdorf explain. Micron-sized optical elements ...
A space camera optical system based on an off-axis four-mirror freeform design is one such solution, offering a 70° ultra-wide field of view from a 640 km orbital altitude. This system is an ideal ...
