It is essential that strict wavefront error (WFE) budgets be met when designing and manufacturing space telescope optics. These performance thresholds dictate a telescope’s ability to clearly and ...

Discover how high-speed wavefront sensing enhances space situational awareness by overcoming atmospheric distortion.

Adaptive optics (AO) systems play a pivotal role in mitigating the deleterious effects of atmospheric turbulence and optical aberrations, thereby enhancing the resolution and imaging quality in fields ...

Lithium niobate (LN) powers a newly developed optical metasurface for shaping and guiding light waves. Leveraging the electro-optical effect of lithium niobate, the device applies different electric ...
