Abstract
A digital adaptive optics encoder module includes a collection lens assembly, an input mounting flange, a collimating lens, a bandpass filter, digital adaptive optic elements, a refocusing lens, an output mounting flange, a housing, a focal plane array, a compute module, and a computing device. The collection lens assembly includes a moveable sub-lens and an entrance lens. The focal plane array measures, records, and transmits light data to a compute module. The compute module is connected to the focal plane array to receive the light data and transmit instructions to autofocus the collection lens assembly based on the light data and a storage device capable of sending and receiving the light data and storing the instructions. The computing device is capable of receiving and recording light data and images produced by the digital adaptive optics encoder module.
