The ultimate Adaptive Optics optimization is just one click away. WaveTune 4.1.10 Conjugation Helper is a game-changer in the optimization of Adaptive Optics setting as it simplifies the WFS/DM alignment to a one-click process. Adaptive Optics are key to optimizing the optical quality of any instrument or set-up. Obviously both the performance of the wavefront […]
Next generation opto-electronic devices enable ultrafast adaptive imaging in microscopy and ophthalmology. DYNAMIC FET project is starting development. Recent years have seen the adaptation of innovative technologies to extend optical imaging beyond fundamental limits, and drastically increase the resolution of optical investigation in many fields. However, even state-of-the-art equipment falls short when it comes to […]
Optics Characterization” ran 3 succesful sessions, and inaugurates a series of wavefront metrology. The 100+ attendees saw live demos by our CTO Guillaume Dovillaire to demonstrate the outstanding capabilities of our newly released R-Flex2 and R-Flex LA, and notably the live wavefront measurement of a lens under test in double pass, and live display of […]
The use of adaptive optics (AO) for IR wavefront control is essential to optimize the phase-matching conditions and therefore enhance the signal of the HHG. Furthermore, the vortex IR driver results in up-converted EUV with a wide range of orbital angular momentum orders, as reported by Laboratoire de Physique des Gaz et des Plasmas . […]
Optimization of the signal-to-noise ratio is key to obtaining the best resolution in PALM/STORM super-resolution microscopy. MicAO 3DSR adaptive optics is helping ScopeM improve 3D localization precision. ScopeM is a central scientific technology platform at ETH Zurich, which provides expertise, resources and services to more than 500 researchers from 200 groups per year. The facility […]
Wavefront sensors have various perceived benefits but here are 10 objective reasons that have made Shack-Hartmann the golden standard in the field. Real time measurement (up to several kHz) Achromatic Absolute measurement (typ. lambda/100, lambda/1000 achievable) Linearity > 99.9% Huge dynamic range > 1000 lambdas Wavefront and intensity maps measured independantly Simple and robust technology […]
The first results of the XPulse project promise great advances in X-Ray technology and imaging, in particular regarding new generation X-ray sources and high-sensitivity phase contrast X-Ray imaging Even though X-ray imaging allows for powerful visualization, identification & diagnosis capabilities in various fields such as non-destructive testing or medical imaging, it is currently mainly based […]
This last generation SWIR sensor is offering comparable level of performance over the VIS, a game changer in AO applications across the board. Over the past decade a broad range of sensing, imaging and beam transportation applications have switched from the VIS (VISible) to the SWIR (Short Wavelength InfraRed because of the intrinsic advantages of […]
Imagine Optic just released an interferometer-like instrument that allow for filter characterization in both reflection and transmission at any wavelength between 400 and 1100 nm – the R-Flex LA. Spectral filters are optical elements that are difficult to characterize in transmission using a standard interferometer. Because these elements behave differently depending on the wavelength, they […]
Adaptive Optics (AO) dramatically improve the performance of optical systems by mastering wavefront distortions to deliver optimal focus and quality imaging for both scientific and industrial applications. The principle of an AO optimization for UHIL is that a deformable mirror combined with a wavefront sensor and the appropriate software addresses all the requirements for either […]
