Applications of Adaptive Optics for Vision Science

چکیده
There are a number of applications of adaptive optics for basic research in vision science, as it is now possible to study microstructures in the living human retina which could not be done before. One of the biggest merits provided by adaptive optics is that it is non-invasive. In this chapter, we describe the applications of an adaptive optics system for vision research, not only for basic science, but also for clinical fields. First, we will briefly explain how to obtain high resolution images of the living human retina with adaptive optics.

متن کاملApplications of adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.
Adaptive optics (AO) describes a set of tools to correct or control aberrations in any optical system. In the eye, AO allows for precise control of the ocular aberrations. If used to correct aberrations over a large pupil, for example, cellular level resolution in retinal images can be achieved. AO systems have been demonstrated for advanced ophthalmoscopy as well as for testing and/or improvin...
متن کاملStochastic realization approach to the efficient simulation of phase screens.
The phase screen method is a well-established approach to take into account the effects of atmospheric turbulence in astronomical seeing. This is of key importance in designing adaptive optics for new-generation telescopes, in particular in view of applications such as exoplanet detection or long-exposure spectroscopy. We present an innovative approach to simulate turbulent phase that is based ...
متن کاملAdaptive optics with advanced phase-contrast techniques. II. High-resolution wave-front control.
A wave-front control paradigm based on gradient-flow optimization is analyzed. In adaptive systems with gradient-flow dynamics, the output of the wave-front sensor is used to directly control high-resolution wavefront correctors without the need for wave-front phase reconstruction (direct-control systems). Here, adaptive direct-control systems with advanced phase-contrast wave-front sensors are...
