New Technology Brings Space Telescope Image Quality Down to Earth, Offering Astronomical Image Clarity Never Seen Before The next generation of adaptive optics has arrived at the Large Binocular ...

It’s sometimes easy to forget that the light in the sky is an actual star. With how reliable it is and how busy we tend to be as humans, we can take that incredible fact and stow it away and largely ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA–Adaptive optics technology can remove the blurring effect of the Earth’s atmosphere that has long plagued astronomers, allowing ground-based telescopes to achieve a clarity of vision ...

The W. M. Keck Observatory and ALPAO have announced that they are partnering to develop an adaptive optics system for the Keck II 10-meter telescope, located on Maunakea, Hawaii. The firms are working ...

Adaptive optics is a transformative technology that corrects distortions in optical wavefronts in real time, thereby enhancing image clarity in a diverse set of applications ranging from astronomical ...

Foreword / Robert Q Fugate -- Preface -- Introduction -- List of acronyms -- 1: Sputnik, reality, and technology -- 2: Early days: the Romans -- 3: Rome and Itek: first adaptive optics systems -- 4: ...

Scientists develop new optical system that removes blur over fine-structure in the Sun's corona, revealing clearest images to date. (Nanowerk News) The Sun’s corona—the outermost layer of its ...

The 5.4 km free-space quantum communication link between the University of Ottawa and the National Research Council Canada, where real-time atmospheric turbulence measurements were conducted to train ...

Adaptive Optics (AO) has revolutionized the ability to capture and shape light, driving discoveries in astronomy, defense, and communications. At Boston Micromachines Corporation (BMC), we design and ...

The term “adaptive optics” sounds like something that should be really complicated and really expensive. And in general, the ability to control the properties of optical elements is sufficiently ...

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 ...

The next generation of adaptive optics has arrived at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) in Arizona, providing astronomers with a new level of image sharpness never before seen. Developed in a ...
