چکیده

A dynamic closed-loop method for focus tracking using a spatial light modulator and a deformable membrane mirror within a confocal microscope is described. We report that it is possible to track defocus over a distance of up to 80 microm with an RMS precision of 57 nm. For demonstration purposes we concentrate on defocus, although in principle the method applies to any wavefront shape or aberration that can be successfully reproduced by the deformable membrane mirror and spatial light modulator, for example, spherical aberration.

Adaptive Optical System Atmospheric Turbulence Generator Testbed

At the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), we have developed a testbed for simulating atmospheric turbulence using Kolmogorov statistics for testing the correctibility of an Adaptive Optical System (AOS). In this testbed, a Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator is being used to induce the atmospheric turbulence and a MEM deformable mirror is being used in the AOS to correct it. This atmospheric t...

Designing a predictive guidance and control system for maneuverable ground moving target tracking in 3D space using a Hexarotor

In this paper, the continuity of tracking a ground moving target using a Hexarotor is considered in the presence of sudden changes in direction, deceptive movements, temporary departure from the field of view (FOV) and changes in the height of the target. In this regard, a hierarchical guidance and control system for target tracking problem in an unknown environment and disturbances is proposed...

High order adaptive optics system with a high density spherical membrane deformable mirror

We have designed a new type of curved deformable mirror with 3000 actuators. It will be used at the 6.5 m MMT telescope in an adaptive optics system to correct the wavefront on a scale of 12 cm, for di raction limited images in visible light ( 0.02 arcsec) and for high contrast imaging with a coronagraph in the near infrared. The mirror's 51 cm diameter glass faceplate, 400 microns thick, will ...

Swept source optical coherence tomography Gabor fusion splicing technique for microscopy of thick samples using a deformable mirror.

We present a swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system at 1060 nm equipped with a wavefront sensor at 830 nm and a deformable mirror in a closed-loop adaptive optics (AO) system. Due to the AO correction, the confocal profile of the interface optics becomes narrower than the OCT axial range, restricting the part of the B-scan (cross section) with good contrast. By actuating on the ...
