Adaptive optics using Texas Instruments phase light modulator

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Adaptive optics (AO) systems are widely used in astronomy, microscopy, and vision science for correcting optical aberrations. However, for highly dynamic and turbulent applications, such as terrestrial Free Space Optical Communications (FSOC), existing wavefront correction devices have fundamental tradeoffs i n s peed a nd resolution which limit their performance. In this paper, we demonstrate the first s teps t owards a f ast a nd high-resolution AO system using a 0.67-inch Texas Instruments Phase Light Modulator (TI-PLM), capable of kHz speeds across over one million actuatable segments.
