What is included in a complete adaptive optical system from OKO Tecnologies?
On demand, OKO Technologies can supply a complete closed-loop adaptive optical system (AOS), which includes all necessary optical and mechanical components in addition to the FrontSurfer adaptive optics package. It has a numerical aperture of 1:10 and can be applied for real-time correction of optical aberrations and generation of precision wavefronts.
What is the closed-loop correction speed in FrontSurfer?
The average correction rate is dependent on the camera and computer. For a PC with AMD Athlon XP1800+ processor and 256 MB RAM, 50 Hz correction rate can be achieved with Basler A602f camera and hexagonal microlens array with 127 subapertures. Using of dual or multi-core processors provides more stable feedback.
How to integrate FrontSurfer adaptive optics package into your application?
FrontSurfer adaptive optics package can be used for building an adaptive optical system for correction of aberrations. Optical design of the system is dependent on the application and should be made by a specialist. In general, the system should provide optical conjugation between the optical aberrations, deformable mirror and the wavefront sensor with proper scaling.
Which deformable mirror can be used with FrontSurfer?
FrontSurfer have embedded support of OKO’s deformable mirror controllers, including 24-channel ISA and PCI boards and 40-channel USB driver modules. With these features, FrontSurfer can control any mirror from OKO Technologies - MMDM with up to 79 channels and PDM with up to 109 channels - or any custom mirror using the same controllers. Custom controllers can be interfaced to FrontSurfer using external libraries - plugins. FrontSurfer manual contains instructions on development of a custom mirror plugin.
What is included in a typical FrontSurfer adaptive optics package?
FrontSurfer adaptive optics package includes a deformable mirror with a full set of control electronics and the FrontSurfer wavefront sensor package including FrontSurfer software with adaptive optics enabled.
