Problem
Many optical systems suffer from wavefront distortions and aberrations, limiting their performance in applications such as microscopy, laser beam shaping, astronomy, and optical metrology. Correcting these aberrations often requires complex and expensive optical component development.
Solution
Dynamic Optics provides adaptive optics solutions, including deformable mirrors, deformable lenses, wavefront sensors, and control software, that enable real-time wavefront correction and beam shaping. Their products can be integrated into existing optical systems to improve image quality, increase laser power, and enhance measurement accuracy. The company's deformable mirrors are designed to withstand high laser power and peak intensities, while their deformable lenses offer an easy-to-integrate solution for aberration correction. Dynamic Optics' Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors provide high-accuracy wavefront measurement for closed-loop adaptive optics control.
Target Audience
The primary customers are researchers and engineers in microscopy, ophthalmic imaging, astronomy, free-space optical communication, high-power laser systems, and optical metrology.
