Our paper “Cascading optofluidic phase modulators for performance enhancement in refractive adaptive optics” has made it onto the home page of SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, as a news story: “Adaptive optics with cascading corrective elements”.
“Researchers from the University of Freiburg, Germany, have made a significant advance in AO microscopy through the demonstration of a new AO module comprising two deformable phase plates (DPPs).”
The article describes the key innovation — two ultra-thin correctors in one beam path, each doing what it does best — like this:
“In this AO configuration, similar to hi-fidelity loudspeakers with separate woofer and tweeter units, one of the optical modulators is optimized for low-spatial frequency aberrations, while the second is used for high-frequency correction.”
