Piezosystem Jena Inc. of Hopedale, Mass., has awarded a $1500 scholarship to Andre Denio of California State University, Northridge, to support his research into developing computer algorithms that control piezoelectrically driven mirrors. The mirrors are part of an adaptive optical system being developed for ground-based telescopes.Read full article

    adaptive optics
    Adaptive optics (AO) is a technology used to improve the performance of optical systems by reducing the effects of atmospheric distortions. The Earth's atmosphere can cause light passing through it to experience distortions, resulting in image blurring and degradation in various optical applications, such as astronomical observations, laser communications, and imaging systems. Adaptive optics systems actively adjust the optical elements in real-time to compensate for these distortions. Key...
    telescope
    An afocal optical device made up of lenses or mirrors, usually with a magnification greater than unity, that renders distant objects more distinct, by enlarging their images on the retina.
