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.

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 ...

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.

support scientist for Subaru’s adaptive optics system.) We plan to upgrade the current AO system as we continue to observe with it. The two major upgrades are: increasing the number of actuators for ...

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 ...
