Characterization of the mechanisms of retinal damage from ultrashort pulsed lasers requires measurement and correction of ocular aberrations because many prevalent non-linear optical effects dominate this regime. Physical Sciences Inc. proposes to construct an adaptive optics system to deliver aberration-corrected laser pulses to the eye. In Phase I, a wavefront sensor will be designed and constructed for high-speed measurement of aberrations in artificial and live human eyes. A novel compact line-scanning laser ophthalmoscope (LSLO) will be added to the wavefront sensor for wide field, high contrast retinal imaging. In Phase II, a wavefront compensation mirror will be added and dynamic closed-loop correction of aberrations will be achieved. In addition, the imaging component will be altered for simultaneous acquisition of high-resolution retinal images. The complete system will be a valuable tool for investigation and direct in vivo imaging of laser pulse damage.
