Researchers have devised a novel technique to 'flip' the optical wavefront of an image for both polarizations simultaneously, so that it can be transmitted through a multimode fiber without distortion ...

New technology allows scientists to measure wavefront distortions induced by the specimen, either a cell or a tissue, directly from the signals generated by single molecules -- tiny light sources ...

Researchers at Caltech make progress in medical imaging by adapting astronomical optics. A reflector shapes light waves to counterbalance distortion. Researchers in Caltech’s Andrew and Peggy Cherng ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.200082 reviews intelligent adaptive optics. Adaptive optics technology can correct the dynamic aberrations of optical system at ...

Recently, laser scientists at the Center for Relativistic Laser Science (CoReLS) within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in South Korea realized the unprecedented laser intensity of 1023 W/cm2.

NEW LASER EYE surgery technology allows doctors to treat optical aberrations affecting vision that cannot be detected in a traditional eye exam, promising relief for problems such as night blindness.

Sydney University scientists have invented a sensor that neutralizes a star’s twinkle, which could help astronomers find new planets in distant solar systems. The sensor uses an advanced light ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Since Robert Hooke’s first description of a cell in Micrographia 350 years ago, microscopy has played an important role in understanding the rules of life. However, the smallest ...
