• Xinetics to collaborate with US Air Force on adaptive optics

    The Air Force Phillips Laboratory (Kirtland AFB, NM) has signed a research agreement with Xinetics Inc. (Littleton, MA) to develo¥a novel deformable mirror for adaptive-optics applications. The design of conventional deformable mirrors precludes repairs to individual actuators.
