Combined hardware and computational optical wavefront correction

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: human photoreceptor cells with more complete correction of ocular aberrations, and increased flexibility to image at multiple retinal depths, field locations, and time points. While our approach is not restricted to retinal imaging, this application is one of the most challenging for computational imaging due to the large aberrations of the dilated pupil, time-varying aberrations, and unavoidable eye motion. In contrast with previous computational imaging work, we have imaged single photoreceptors and their waveguide modes in fully dilated eyes with a single acquisition. Combined hardware and computational wavefront correction improves the image sharpness of existing adaptive optics systems, and broadens the potential applications of computational imaging methods.
