    摘要: A deformable curvature mirror capable of controlled deformation by applying electrical voltages to electrode segments on the back of the mirror. Two plates of an electro-restrictive material, such as PZT or PMN, are jointed together with at least one conductive layer sandwiched therebetween. One plate has an outer conductive layer and a mirrored surface on the outer conductive layer. The conductive layers are electrically grounded. The other plate has a pattern of a plurality of electrode segments on the outer surface with each electrode segment having a separate electrical terminal for applying a variable electrical voltage thereto for separately transmitting a variable current through each electrode segment and through at least the other plate for causing variable expansion of the plate and thereby selectively deforming that plate and, in turn, the deformable curvature mirror.

    摘要: In an adaptive optics module, wavefront sensing and data detection are implemented in a single device. For example, an optical-to-electrical converter converts a data-encoded optical beam to an intermediate electrical signal, which contains both the data encoded in the beam and also wavefront information about the beam. The data and wavefront information are later separated, for example by frequency filtering.

    摘要: A wavefront sensor for detecting the wavefront produced by light waves from a light source comprises optically refractory or reflective means for receiving the light waves from the light source and producing two defocused pupil images at two different locations along an optical axis. A detector is positioned at a location spaced from the two locations of the two focused pupil images for the detector means to receive and detect two equally and oppositely defocused pupil images. A computer with appropriate software processes the characteristics of the two defocused pupil images from the detector to determine the curvature of the wavefront based on the light intensities with Dirichlet's boundary conditions for the light waves received by the wavefront sensor.

    摘要: The present invention provides a rapid, high quality iris imaging system. In one embodiment, on-axis illumination is used. A single steering mechanism steers both the camera and the illumination, without parallax issues. The illumination beam can be combined along the camera's optical axis before or after the fine steering and focus correction mechanism. In a pre-correction configuration, the iris illumination spot can be reduced in size to be only slightly larger than the iris. In both the pre and post-correction configuration, the eye safety limits will be most critical at the subject, which allows for maximization of the illumination flux.

    摘要: An iris imaging system used for biometric identification provides a combined iris imager and wavefront sensor. The detector array allows for independent readout of different regions, such that a wavefront sensor region can be read out fast while allowing signal to integrate on the iris imaging region. Alternatively, the entire array may be used for wavefront sensing during an acquisition phase, and then at least a portion of the array may be switched to be used for iris imaging during a subsequent imaging phase. An optical periscope optionally allows various optics to be inserted in front of the combined iris imager and wavefront sensor. In another embodiment, the glint image of an on-axis or near on-axis illumination source is picked off at the image plane and directed to the wavefront sensor optics, while allowing all of the light from the iris field to pass through to the iris imaging camera.

    摘要: A rapid iris acquisition, tracking, and imaging system can be used at longer standoff distances and over larger capture volumes, without the active cooperation of subjects. Light illuminates the subjects' eyes and a high resolution camera captures images of the irises. The images of the irises are processed by a post processing module to improve their quality. In one approach, the point spread function of the image capture subsystem is estimated using glint reflections from the eye, and the estimated point spread function is used in deconvolution to increase the resolution of the iris images. The post processed iris images have sufficient resolution to be used for biometric identification.

    摘要: A portable, hand held iris imaging system captures iris images that may be used in biometric identification. The system includes an illumination source for illuminating a subject's eye and a camera to capture light reflected from the subject's eye. An optical element positioned between the illumination source and the camera focuses light reflected from the subject's eye onto the camera. A controller receives the captured image and provides it to a display. If the system is not correctly positioned for iris image capture, the display may also provide visual feedback regarding how the system can be properly repositioned. The system includes a housing with a portable form factor so that it may be easily operated.
