Many optical systems include mirrors as a component. They are used to direct and focus light, combine wavelengths, and reject specific wavelengths in imaging and a host of other applications. Multiple ...

Researchers in Canada have built the first deformable liquid mirror from a magnetic liquid or “ferrofluid”, which could someday be used to compensate for distortion in the images of telescopes and ...

Adaptive optics is a transformative technology that corrects distortions in optical wavefronts in real time, thereby enhancing image clarity in a diverse set of applications ranging from astronomical ...

A new optical prescription for automobile side-view mirrors may eliminate the dreaded "blind spot" in traffic without distorting the perceived distance of cars approaching from behind. Objects viewed ...

Consisting of a reflective membrane supported by an underlying actuator array, the Mini-DM deformable mirror�with a starting price of just $7,500�is presented as significantly less expensive than ...

Usually when we hear the term “progressive optics” it’s in reference to bi- or trifocal glasses, that don’t have sharp lines between the different focal zones of the lenses. A group of scientists from ...

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28, 2013—A new optical prescription for automobile side-view mirrors may eliminate the dreaded "blind spot" in traffic without distorting the perceived distance of cars approaching ...
