AOS recently announced a metric AO product that relies on their unique microcontroller-architecture drive electronics to execute a stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm. The 6"x6"x3" drive electronics product was equipt with a BNC connector for a metric input signal, shown here as a photodiode with a pinhole. With this advance, all it takes to simple metric AO is an AOS deformable mirror, a photodiode with a pinhole, and the AOS drive electronics!
