The study of the temporal performance of a nematic liquid crystal phase modulator with 69 phase retardance cells is presented. The change of Strehl ratio for defocus under static and dynamic conditions is discussed. It is observed that the rate of ar

The use of liquid crystal devices for wavefront control has been suggested and implemented by several authors. In this paper we report some preliminary results on the use of Nematic based liquid crystal devices. Several experimental efforts have been

Multi-segment liquid crystal spatial light modulators have received much attention recently for use as high-precision wavefront control devices for use in astronomical and non-astronomical applications. They act much like piston only segmented deform

Multi-segment liquid crystal phased arrays have been demonstrated as adaptive optics elements for correction of atmospheric turbulence. High speed dual-frequency nematic liquid crystal has sufficient bandwidth to keep up with moderate atmospheric Gre

In previous work we demonstrated a nematic liquid crystal MEMS adaptive optics system for observation of low earth orbit satellites. However the closed loop bandwidth was limited to 40 Hz due to latency in the interface electronics between the contro

We present here results using two novel adaptive optic elements, an electro-static membrane mirror built by OKO Technologies, and a dual frequency multi-segment nematic liquid crystal built by Meadowlark Optics. These devices have the advantage of lo

We present here results using two novel active optic elements, an electro-static membrane mirror, and a dual frequency nematic liquid crystal. These devices have the advantage of low cost, low power consumption, and compact size. Possible application

The idea of using liquid crystal as adaptive optics components has been proposed by several authors. In recent years a vigorous research effort has been carried out, and it si still flourishing, in several countries. Mainly the research and experimen

We demonstrate the utility of laser illuminated imaging for clandestine night time surveillance from a simulated airborne platform at standoff ranges in excess 20 km. In order to reduce the necessary laser per pulse energy required for illumination a
