Laser guide stars (LGS) and adaptive optics (AO) are crucial technologies in modern astronomy, enabling telescopes to correct for atmospheric distortions that blur images of celestial objects.

Could a telescope be vibrated with the right frequency to counter the atmospheric twinkle of stars? Robert ByerlyWindsor, ...

Deformable mirrors (DMs) and adaptive optics systems are crucial technologies in the field of optics, particularly for applications that require precise control of light, such as laser focusing ...

The ground-based laser would then fire for up to an hour, using adaptive optics to counter the effect of the Earth’s atmosphere on the beam. The parabolic reflector on the spacecraft would then ...

Be it on a mountain top in a telescope, in a cryogenic dewar, in a precision laser micromachining system on a factory floor, or in a research laboratory, Iris AO has DMs suited for your needs.
