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.
