LAS VEGAS, Nov. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Adaptive Optics Global Market is estimated to be around $90 billion by 2025. The market growth can be attributed to the varied critical applications that adaptive optics has in different sectors such as biomedical, defense and security, communication and other sectors. With technological innovations, adaptive optics components are now being designed and produced at low costs. This will contribute to the growth of the adaptive optics market over the forecast period. With increase in demand for microscopy supplemented with high resolution and applications of adaptive optics in laser communications, the market will exhibit a significant growth in the coming few years.
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.
The defense and security segment held the major share of the global market in 2016. This segment will continue dominating the overall market during the forecast period, as adoption of this technology for strengthening defense applications is rising considerably for long range target identification, electro-optical camera systems, and other applications.
North America dominated the global adaptive optics market in 2016, owing to rising AO applications in the fields of astronomy, ophthalmology, defense and security. U.S. widely adopts optics and photonics for defense and security to maintain its technological superiority in this segment. Asia-Pacific market will grow with the fastest growth rate during the forecast period with rise in research activities related to adaptive optics in the developing nations. In September 2016, China began operating the world’s largest radio telescope to search signals from stars and galaxies and detect radio emissions.
With substantial funding for research and development, many players are focusing on deriving advanced applications of adaptive optics in different fields. For instance, in July 2016, Safran Reosc, a subsidiary of Safran Electronics and Defense, received a contract from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) to measure, polish and test the M2 mirror on the E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope).
