Improve the Performance of Laser Scanning Systems
Real Time Aberration Correction in Laser Scanning Systems
Tags: Australian National University, Australia, Industrial Automation & Manufacturing, Electronics & Robotics
This adaptive optics solution enhances laser scanning systems by rapidly correcting up to 50 aberrations, achieving diffraction-limited performance across millimeter scales in 3D. It's versatile, allowing retrofitting to any laser device, as shown in laser scanning microscopes. Benefits include affordability, improved optical performance, and higher throughput. Applications span laser scanning microscopy, lithography, and engraving used in diverse industries such as biomedical imaging, telecommunications and aerospace & defense. ANU seeks collaboration for further development and holds a provisional patent.
