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 ...

Lithium niobate (LN) powers a newly developed optical metasurface for shaping and guiding light waves. Leveraging the electro-optical effect of lithium niobate, the device applies different electric ...

Researchers have developed a new class of integrated photonic devices -- 'leaky-wave metasurfaces' -- that convert light initially confined in an optical waveguide to an arbitrary optical pattern in ...

WaveFront Dynamics Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company, announced today the commercial launch of its dynamic aberrometry measurement system, the WaveDyn Vision Analyzer. The WaveDyn Vision ...

ABSTRACT The corrected field of view of an adaptive optics system is thought to provide a severe limitation on the usefulness of an adaptive optics system. We show that under good seeing conditions, ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. A narrowband laser beam shaped by a spatial light modulator excites many ...

Gravitational-wave detection technology is poised to make a big leap forward thanks to an instrumentation advance led by physicist Jonathan Richardson of the University of California, Riverside. A ...

Seeking to further ensure its leading position in the laser vision correction market, Advanced Medical Optics Inc. (AMO; Santa Ana, CA) plans to acquire IntraLase Corp. (Irvine, CA) in an all-cash ...

New York, NY—May 8, 2023—Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a new class of integrated photonic devices--“leaky-wave metasurfaces”--that can convert light initially confined in an ...

These devices are the first to demonstrate simultaneous control of all four optical degrees of freedom, namely, amplitude, phase, polarization ellipticity, and polarization orientation--a world record ...
