Abstract

A compact adaptive optics system was developed and integrated into the system for multiphoton laser scanning ophthalmoscopy. Defocus, astigmatism, trefoil, and coma are compensated via a combination of telescope and rotating pairs of phase plates. The spherical aberration as well as all dynamic aberrations are corrected by an active micro-electromechanical (MEMS) mirror. Wavefront measurement is conducted by fast SHS and pyramid sensor devices. The MEMS-mirror based adaptive optics system was validated in a study on 60 eyes of 30 subjects.The adaptive-optical multiphoton ophthalmoscope is aimed at detecting the early onset of retinal diseases such as e.g. age-related macula degeneration.
