Multi-core fiber-bundle endoscopes provide a minimally-invasive solution for deep tissue imaging and opto-genetic stimulation, at depths beyond the reach of conventional microscopes. Recently, wavefront-shaping has enabled lensless bundle-based micro-endoscopy by correcting the wavefront distortions induced by core-to-core inhomogeneities. However, current wavefront-shaping solutions require access to the fiber distal end for determining the bend-sensitive wavefront-correction. Here, we show that it is possible to determine the wavefront correction in-situ, without any distal access. Exploiting the nonlinearity of two-photon excited fluorescence, we adaptively determine the wavefront correction in-situ using only proximal detection of epi-detected fluorescence. We experimentally demonstrate diffraction-limited, three-dimensional, two-photon lensless microendoscopy with commercially-available ordered- and disordered multi-core fiber bundles.

Adaptive optics (AO) systems are capable of correcting wavefront aberrations caused by transmission media or defects in optical systems. The deformable mirror (DM) plays a crucial role as a component of the adaptive optics system. In this study, our focus is on analyzing the ability of a 97-element MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) DM to correct blurred images of extended sources affected by atmospheric turbulence.

Free-electron laser (FEL) facilities operating at MHz repetition rates can emit lasers with average powers reaching hundreds of watts. Partial absorption of this power induces thermal deformation of a few micrometres on the mirror surface. Such deformation degrades the characteristics of the reflected photon beam, leading to focal spot aberrations and wavefront distortions that fail to meet experimental requirements.

We provide a technical description and experimental results of the practical development and offline testing of an innovative, closed-loop, adaptive mirror system capable of making rapid, precise and ultra-stable changes in the size and shape of reflected X-ray beams generated at synchrotron light and free-electron laser facilities. The optical surface of a piezoelectric bimorph deformable mirror is continuously monitored at 20 kHz by an array of interferometric sensors. This matrix of height data is autonomously converted into voltage commands that are sent at 1 Hz to the piezo actuators to modify the shape of the mirror optical surface.

To report a novel application within the USA of excimer ablation for the normalization of central corneal refractive irregularity, combined with higher fluence CXL in the effective management and visual rehabilitation of progressive keratoconus. 17 consecutive cases with progressive keratoconus were treated with corneal surface excimer laser ablation normalization using topography-guided (Contura) myopic ablation for customized corneal re-shaping with a 6 mm optical zone. The epithelial removal was accounted for by adding a -2.
