Brief
Description:
The
software is used for the full characterization of an optical beam, by the
computation of Zernike polynomials from wavefront sensor data.
Applications:
For
use in adaptive optics systems, such as scanning laser ophthalmoscopes, optical
coherence tomography and astronomy.
Advantages:
The
software provides a full characterization of the optical beam and is built to
integrate with software used to control devices used in adaptive optics, such as
wavefront sensors (Shack-Hartmann or other) with a digital camera, wavefront
correctors (such as Boston Micromachines deformable mirror, or ImagineEyes
deformable mirror), laser controllers (such as Thorlabs ITC-502 or other) and
power meters (such as Newport 1930 or other).
Technology
Status:
Software
is being used by research teams in vision science. Special arrangements are provided to
research institutions which are members of the NSF-funded Center for Adaptive Optics. The software can be used with TsunamiSLO
(1-11030-08036), which is software to control the devices used in adaptive
optics.
