New adaptive lenses that correct optical errors
31.08.2023 -
In cooperation with researchers of the University of Freiburg, we have published a new type of adaptive lens with integrated geometric aberration correction. While previous versions could only focus and correct spherical errors our novel lens can change the focus, spherical error, and at the same time correct asymmetric errors such as coma or astigmatism. Those can be caused by light travelling through inhomogeneous media for example when imaging through a living organism or by imaging at a wide angle (typical blurring of images at the edges).
