Adaptive optics is a technology integrated with the optical systems for beam propagation, communications, and microscopy. Such technologies are used to enhance the efficiency of an optical system by reducing wavefront distortion effects. It finds its applications in retinal imaging, laser communication, and biological research. The system contains three main components wavefront sensor, control system, and wavefront modulator.

Adaptive optics rapidly changes the shape of primary reflecting mirrors to adjust the aberrations of light and provides clear images. Adaptive optics systems generally consist of three subsystems, namely a wavefront sensor to sense the state of the wavefront, a wavefront modulator to correct deviations in the wavefront, and a control system to link these two subsystems, thereby creating a closed-loop feedback system.

Adaptive optics devices are used in a broad range of applications, both imaging, and non-imaging. There are many imaging applications where adaptive optics can be used to improve the overall image quality. For instance, in microscopy, optical components inside the microscope and the biological sample itself induce aberrations in the image. Adaptive optics can correct these aberrations and improve the image quality of the sample. Similarly, the use of adaptive optics can improve the image quality in applications such as ophthalmology, optical coherence tomography (OCT), environment surveillance, robotic vision, and surveillance cameras. Thus, adaptive optics has the potential of being accepted and used in various sectors in the near future.

Adaptive Optics Market is segmented on the basis of Component (Wavefront Sensor, Wavefront Modulator, Control System), End-User Industry (Consumer, Astronomy, Military & Defense, Biomedical, Industrial & Manufacturing, Communication), and Geography.

Wavefront sensors are a key component of adaptive optics and constitute the largest market in comparison with all other adaptive optics components. These sensors are a part of various adaptive optics applications; for instance, wavefront sensors are also used for many laser applications such as laser beam diagnostic and laser material processing for controlling laser beam shape and size to increase accuracy.

An adaptive optics system is a control system that typically includes software. On receiving wavefront information from the wavefront sensor, the controller calculates the appropriate shape to compensate for the wavefront and sends that information to the wavefront corrector. The control system calculates the required correction and the necessary shape to apply to the corrector.
