Deformable lenses
The easiest and versatile solution for adaptive optics
Our deformable lenses are plug-and-play solutions for universal aberration correction, optimizing performance across microscopy, medical imaging, and atmospheric compensation.
Beyond simple defocus compensation, our lenses provide comprehensive aberration correction.
They are the definitive choice when image quality is your target. When paired with a wavefront sensor, they form a powerful transmissive adaptive optics system—ideal for microscopy, ophthalmic imaging, and compact telescopes.
Like our deformable mirrors, our lenses utilize glass membranes and bimorph piezo actuators. Because the optical shape is structurally induced by the glass substrate, our design offers two distinct advantages:
- Orientation Independence: Performance is entirely unaffected by gravity, ensuring stability in any mounting position.
- Scalable Apertures: Large clear apertures are achieved without the distortion or “sag” common in traditional membrane systems.
IDEAL FOR
- Large clear aperture
- Real time wavefront correction
- Compact adaptive optics imaging system
- Small telescopes
KEY SPECS
- No gravity effects
- Aberrations correction with compact devices
- Low cost
- Refractive phase modulator
- High transmission (>92%)
