The use of liquid crystal adaptive optics devices in astronomy
Images obtained from large astronomical telescopes are distorted and blurred by the effects of the atmosphere. In order to compensate for this, an adaptive optics system can be incorporated downstream from the telescope focus. Conventional technology uses small piezo-driven mirrors to deviate the wa...
