Vectorial adaptive optics for advanced imaging systems
Vectorial adaptive optics (V-AO) is a cutting-edge technique extending conventional AO into the vectorial domain encompassing both polarization and phase feedback correction for optical systems. However, previous V-AO approaches focus on point correction. In this letter, we extend this AO approach i...

| description | Vectorial adaptive optics (V-AO) is a cutting-edge technique extending conventional AO into the vectorial domain encompassing both polarization and phase feedback correction for optical systems. However, previous V-AO approaches focus on point correction. In this letter, we extend this AO approach into the imaging domain. We show how V-AO can benefit an aberrated imaging system to enhance not only scalar imaging but also the quality of vectorial information. Two important criteria, vectorial precision and uniformity are put forward and used in practice to evaluate the performance of the correction. These experimental validations pave the way for real-world imaging for V-AO technology and its applications. |
