The four laser beams excite sodium atoms in the atmosphere to make for better cosmic observations. The post Incredible photos ...

This, in turn, leads to signal distortion, loss of data integrity, and reduced reliability in optical and quantum ...

However, with adaptive optics enabled, we successfully restored the channel, performing high-dimensional QKD and encoding up to three bits per photon—significantly boosting the key generation rate." ...

Taking advantage of a sophisticated adaptive optics instrument, a team of astronomers at the University of Arizona made observations that reveal unprecedented details of planets when they are very ...

The Magellan Adaptive Optics Xtreme (MagAO-X) has provided some of the clearest images ever taken of planets forming around a ...

By combining these technologies AOS developed both conventional wavefront-sensor adaptive optics systems and metric AO systems. The most recent work at AOS has been in demonstrating laser beam shaping ...

Adaptive optics relies on wave-front sensors to measure aberrations in light coming into a telescope, camera, or similar system, and then uses deformable mirrors to correct those aberrations.

AOA supports government and commercial customers through the development and production of electro-optical and opto-mechanical systems which sense and control the propagation of light through ...
