Simultaneously achieving high beam quality and high average power remains a fundamental problem in the development of high power lasers. Adaptive optics systems are able to significantly improve beam qualities by compensating for the static and dynamic phase distortions of the laser beams. In recent years, Institute of Optics and Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed low-order aberration com- pensators, weighted least-square wavefront reconstruction algorithms, and generic real-time wavefront processors for solid-state slab lasers. Based on these key components, over two dozens of adaptive optics systems are delivered to a variety of solid-state slab laser systems in China for beam cleanup. With effective operations of these adaptive optics systems, the beam qualities of the laser systems have all been well improved..

This technology was first successfully applied to the manipulation of ocular aberrations, and high resolution retinal images and “supernormal vision” were achieved in vivo for the first time in 1997. Subsequently, adaptive optics were developed rapidly in ophthalmology. This field includes two main directions: high resolution imaging of the retina and the research of ocular aberrations manipulation and its influence on visual function. In 2011, professor D. R.Williams from Rochester University and Professor Austin Roorda from California University made two comprehensive overviews on retinal high-resolution imaging and ocular aberrations manipulation and its influence on visual function, respectively. In 1997, reseachers in Institute of Optics and Electronics took the lead in developing of adaptive optics technology in China. This article firstly introduces the principle of ocular adaptive optical system briefly, and then reports the main research progress of Institute of Optics and Electronics in this field for the last five years..

Ground-based high spatial resolution imaging of the Sun is severely limited by wavefront disturbances induced by the Earth’s atmosphere turbulence. Therefore, solar adaptive optics aims at these requirements and it has revitalized ground-based solar astronomy at existing telescopes. Meanwhile, multi-conjugate adaptive optics has been proved to overcome the anisoplanatism and obtain the high resolution images with a large field of view in solar observation by compensating for the turbulence with several deformable mirrors conjugated to different heights. In this review, we give some summarization of the development of solar adaptive abroad, and emphatically introduce several adaptive optics systems in China and the progress of large FoV adaptive optics..

The developed DM has 140 hexagonal parallel plate capacFor satisfying the boarder application requirement of adaptive optics (AO) and solving the problem of large volume and high cost of conventional deformable mirrors (DM), micro DM based on micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology is developed and measured. The developed DM has 140 hexagonal parallel plate capacitor electrostatic actuators. The actuators are arranged as a square array and the pitch is 400 μm. A DM prototype is fabricated by MEMS surface micromachining process and packaged by a ceramic pin grid array (CPGA). A miniaturization multi-channel high voltage driver for the DM is developed too. The measurement results show that the prototype has a surface PV value of 411 nm, RMS value of 78 nm, reflectivity of about 80% in 600 nm to 900 nm wavelength, stroke of 1.8 μm, actuator coupling of 15%, working bandwidth of 13 kHz and step response time of 23 μs. Thus the DM has the advantages of small volume, low cost and fast response. Besides the measurement of single element, the whole DM is controlled open loop to fit Zernike aberration and its fitting capability is demonstrated. Above results indicate that the DM prototype can satisfy initially the requirement of AO system..
