Adaptive optics relies on wave-front sensors to measure aberrations in light coming into a telescope, camera, or similar system, and then uses deformable mirrors to correct those aberrations.

It has software libraries in C++, Java, Matlab and Labview. The mirrors are also contained within an embedded adaptive optics system that comes with 32-channel drive electronics and a software ...

Yes, it can! This is one facet of adaptive optics, which astronomical observatories can use to compensate for distortions in astronomical images caused by our atmosphere. Let’s set the stage ...
