Nature isn’t kind when light passes through Earth’s turbulent atmosphere. Both transmitted and received light are disrupted by the dynamic turbulence between source and sensor. Given the enormous amount of information carried by light, the defense, scientific, and commercial communities are finding themselves increasingly reliant on adaptive optics to overcome nature’s roadblocks to meet their sensing challenges.
HartSCI’s science and engineering team has three decades of collective experience in the research, design, development, integration, and use of adaptive optics systems, laser guide stars, and wavefront sensing technologies.
