Flexible Optical BV
Company Description
Flexible Optical B.V. is a small Dutch business operating in the field of research and application-oriented development of high resolution optical systems based on wave-front sensing and aberration correction. The company produces a wide range of custom deformable mirrors and wave-front sensors.
From its foundation in 1997, OKO offers high-quality deformable mirrors at affordable prices. OKO micromachined or piezoelectric deformable mirrors can be seen in many (adaptive) optical labs all over the world. OKO has large experience in developing mirrors and AO systems for wide range of general and specific applications; the best evidence to this is a constantly growing number of publications not only written by OKO members, but also based on OKO’s products.

| Enhanced imaging in turbulent conditions with OKO StillI system
OKO extends the capabilities of modern imaging systems by introducing purely software-based system for image stabilization, object tracking, frame integration and multi-frame deconvolution. It offers an almost real time enhanced imaging through turbulent and wavy media. The system works with live video sequences fed via DirectShow (webcam) interface, or from a CMOS or CCD camera. To get the impression, please watch the recordings below, better seen in a full-frame mode. Feel free to contact us with any technical question, or for an offer. The basic configuration of the system is available from stock. Example recordings of real-time imaging are available at:

Adaptive Optics Solutions
Flexible Optical BV (aka OKO Technologies), a leading provider of complete adaptive optics solutions based on piezoelectric and membrane deformable mirrors, announces introduction of three novel components for cheaper, simpler and more reliable adaptive optics:
- Membrane deformable mirror with integrated tip-tilt stage that has been specially designed for the correction of low-order aberrrations. The deformable mirror has 17-actuator geometry optimized for the correction of the low-order aberrations. The mirror is integrated with a piezoelectric tip-tilt stage. This allows to avoid the double use of the pupil-conjugated plane and to build compact and simple adaptive optical systems. The mirror has tip and tilt range of 24 µm at 10 mm aperture and 8.8 µm defocus range in the reflected wavefront.
- Piezoelectric laser deformable mirror, designed specially for the correction of low-order aberrations. By locating 18 of the 19 mirror's actuators outside the working aperture, we achieved perfect correction of the first 15 Zernike polynomials practically without any actuator print-through. While working with high-power beams the mirror provides optimal correction of low-order aberrations causing no scattering or hot spots.
- 40-ch digital-to-analog converter unit with Ethernet 100Base-TX network interface. It provides 40 analog output channels with amplitude resolution of 16 bits and refresh rate up to 2 kHz via UDP or TCP protocols. The device features bipolar output amplifier with software adjustable gain and offset, which allows to tune the device to the needs of particular application without sacrificing the dynamic range. Full signal span is up to 12 V, maximum and minimum values could be adjusted in the range from -12 V to +12 V. Multiple devices may be combined within network to control practically unlimited number of channels. Since Ethernet and TCP/IP are ubiquitous modern standards, the usage of the device is not limited to any particular hardware/software platform. |
