Adaptive Optics Market Size Is Projected To
Be Around $90 Billion By 2025
A research study titled, “Adaptive Optics Market by Technology and Application - Global Industry
Analysis and Forecast to 2025” published by Crystal Market Research, states that the adaptive
optics market is projected to be around $90 billion by 2025.
Turbulence in the earth’s atmosphere results into limitations in the performance of astronomical
telescopes. As a result, when stars are viewed through ground based telescopes, they twinkle and appear
as fuzzy blobs. Adaptive optics (AO) technology can correct the blurring caused due to the turbulence and
enhance the visibility of the telescopes. The distortions are removed using wavefront sensors and
deformable mirrors resulting in sharpening of the light waves coming from the stars. Adaptive optics is
directly related to the enhancement of image quality.It has applications in ophthalmology as well. AO
improves the capabilities of ophthalmic instruments where the optics of the eye is concerned. Its use in
correcting aberrations in the human eye has greatly enabled ophthalmologists to improve and evaluate
vision function of patients. Adaptive optics is extensively used in defense applications such as secure
defense communication and laser based missile systems.
The wavefront sensor segment held a major share of the global adaptive optics market in 2016, as they
have major applications for measuring distortions in wavefronts in optics. The segment is expected to
maintain its dominant position in the market during the forecast period also. The wavefront modulator
segment will witness a favorable growth over the forecast period due their rising adoption in wavefront
corrections.
