The global market for Adaptive Optics is
projected to reach US$3.2 billion by 2025, driven by expanding applications in telecommunications,
military & defense, medical, and space exploration. Growing use of laser
systems be it for communications, laser processing, laser weapons or laser
medical equipment, is pushing up the importance of adaptive optics (AO) which
is defined as a technology to reduce wavefront distortions. AO rapidly adjusts
the focus of a high power laser beam to ensure accurate targeting of the beam.
AO measures wavefront distortions and corrects the errors with the help of
deformable mirrors and/or liquid crystal arrays. Wavefront distortion is a
phenomenon that impacts the performance and stability of high power
optical/laser systems. The distortion degrades the propagation of the light
beam.
In the military and defense sector, commercialization
of laser weapons is jumpstarting opportunities for AO. Airborne lasers
especially operate in environments with heavy atmospheric distortion, making
the use of AO indispensable. In this regard, tip/tilt adaptive optics (TT AOS)
is gaining prominence for its superior wavefront correction capability as
compared to a deformable mirror adaptive optics (DMAO) which has a limited
correction range. Given the importance
of AO in enhancing the reliability and performance laser weapon systems, the
budgetary focus on acquiring next generation directed energy weapons by the
defence ministry in virtually all countries worldwide, bodes well for market
growth. Free-space optical communication (FSO) is also amplifying the value of AO.
Also known as wireless optical communication, the technology is gaining
increased prominence as a data transmission medium in telecommunications or
computer networking applications. The technology is attractive for data
communication in environments where physical connections or cables are
difficult or impractical to install. While ophthalmology, microscopy, tissue
imaging, directed energy weapons and FSO offer lucrative application
opportunities for AO, astronomy and space exploration/communication will witness
the fastest growth. Read More…
