http://www.activeopticalsystems.com/ General company news feed. Fri, 02 Oct 2009 10:13 MST 60 http://www.aos-llc.com Today we officially released our new beam-tube packaging for the membrane DMs. The first released product is a MDM1-32S-4 (32 actuators in a squared grid). The "-4" suffix indicates the new beam-tube packaging. Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:00 MST http://www.aos-llc.com We can now support any AVT camera (firewire or Gigabit ethernet) in our software and can make any AVT camera into a wavefront sensor. Wed, 11 Oct 2011 12:00 MST http://www.aos-llc.com Based on customer input, we have added Zernike subtraction, image zooming, far-field spot calculation, and better Atmospheric Characterization into our Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensor software. These features are either in our software now or will be in the next release. Wed, 11 Oct 2011 12:00 MST http://www.aos-llc.com We have just released a new video on active flattening a membrane DM using the new Zernike subtraction feature.(http://www.aos-llc.com/support.shtml).

Fri, 5 Mar 2010 12:00 MST http://www.activeopticalsystems.com/ The new AOS website was launched on 14 December 2009. Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:00 MST 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! Introductory pricing is set at $7,500. Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:00 MST AOS (in collaboration with MZA) announces results from their first plate-type PZT actuator deformable mirror capable of handling high CW laser power. Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:00 MST Demonstration of the first adaptive optics system. Wed, 01 Feb 2006 12:00 MST Completion of the first prototype drive electronics. Sun, 01 Jan 2006 12:00 MST Creation of the Limited Liability Corporation. Mon, 01 Aug 2005 12:00 MST Demonstration of the first polymer membrane deformable mirror. Fri, 01 Jul 2005 12:00 MST
