... realized from an array of flat sensors as illustrated in Fig. 1. The field covered by each set of micro-optics is relatively small, and thus the amount of curvature correction needed to image each subfield onto a flat focal plane is minimal. The process is similar to close-up imaging of flat objects ...

Atmospheric Turbulence and its Influence on Adaptive Optics
Atmospheric Turbulence and its Influence on Adaptive Optics

... Tatarskii (1961) made the assumption that the variations in refractive index result directly in phase fluctuations described by φ(r), whereas any change in amplitude are due to second order effects acting on the already perturbed wavefront. This turns out to be a reasonable assumption as most models ...

... A strobing method was used in which waves are produced and detected at discrete time steps. Wavefront propagation is captured by changing the offset between the initial laser pulse and the image capture. High frequency triggering of the illumination source is attractive in its simplicity, but also r ...

Optimal wavelength for ultrahigh-resolution optical

... Superluminescent diodes (SLD) are often used for OCT imaging and typically have 10-15 µm longitudinal resolution [2] due to limited optical bandwidth. A Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser, optimized for a short coherence length, can obtain longitudinal resolution of less than 2 µm [3]. Recent d ...

Harold Hopkins (physicist)

Harold Horace Hopkins FRS (1918–1994) was a renowned British physicist. His Wave Theory of Aberrations, (published by Oxford University Press 1950), is central to all modern optical design and provides the mathematical analysis which enables the use of computers to create the wealth of high quality lenses available today. In addition to his theoretical work, his many inventions are in daily use throughout the world. These include zoom lenses, coherent fibre-optics and more recently the rod-lens endoscopes which 'opened the door' to modern key-hole surgery. He was the recipient of many of the world's most prestigious awards and was twice nominated for a Nobel Prize. His citation on receiving the Rumford Medal from the Royal Society in 1984 stated: ""In recognition of his many contributions to the theory and design of optical instruments, especially of a wide variety of important new medical instruments which have made a major contribution to clinical diagnosis and surgery.""
