Bertin Alpao Adaptive Optics

Bertin Alpao: Deformable mirrors

Bertin Alpao Deformable Mirrors (DM) are based on continuous reflective surface motioned by magnetic actuators. They feature large strokes, high dynamic motion and an excellent optical quality to meet and exceed your requirements for fast and accurate wavefront correction.

Bertin Alpao: Shack–Hartmann (SH) wavefront sensors (WFS)

Bertin Alpao Shack–Hartmann (SH) wavefront sensors (WFS) are the only range of WFS especially designed for Adaptive Optics.

Bertin Alpao: Deformable Modal Mirrors

Bertin Alpao Deformable Modal Mirrors (DMM) provide an excellent correction of the most common optical aberrations. Each control channel corresponding to one optical mode (e.g. focus or astigmatism), the control is straightforward. It was designed to be easily integrated into systems with a standard tube packaging. 

Bertin Alpao

Bertin Alpao designs and manufactures a complete range of adaptive optics components and systems for use in research and industry. Our product’s unrivalled performance enables users to recover very high-resolution images.

Bertin Alpao: Adaptive Optics Software and Control

Industrial SDK for integration in your software

The Bertin Alpao WaveFront Sensor (WFS) and loop Software Development Kit (SDK) are an easy to use SDK especially designed for Adaptive Optics (AO) systems. 

Bertin Alpao: Systems and Kits

Adaptive Optics Systems

Bertin Alpao Adaptive Optics systems are tailor-made systems for your applications and needs. They are based on more than twelve years of experience in AO systems for many applications.

Bertin Alpao: Large Aperture Deformable Mirrors (DMX)

Bertin Alpao Large Aperture Deformable Mirrors (DMX) boast a larger pupil diameter than other Deformable Mirrors. This larger pupil captures more light from the source, which can be particularly beneficial when low-light conditions or when observing faint objects.

Bertin Alpao: A New Deformable Mirror with embedded electronics

Bertin Alpao are expanding their range of adaptive optics solutions with the new eDM : Embedded Deformable Mirror. 

Bertin Alpao: ACE & ACE-SIM Software Tools to Design and Control Your Adaptive Optics Systems

At Bertin Alpao, we are proud to develop a complete ecosystem to address the technological challenges of adaptive optics (AO). In addition to our products, or hardware, such as deformable mirrors, real time computers and wavefront sensors, we offer two software modules to support you in the development, simulation, and deployment of adaptive optics systems: ACE (Alpao Core Engine) and its latest version ACE-SIM (Alpao Core Engine Simulation).

Bertin Alpao Reaches an Industrial Milestone with its New eDM Deformable Mirror

Grenoble (France) – June 03, 2026 – Bertin Alpao announces the launch of its new eDM (Embedded Deformable Mirror) and the signing of two series orders with European industrial partners. This launch confirms the company’s shift toward industrial-scale production targeting high-end markets such as defense, microscopy, and ophthalmology.

Bertin ALPAO: Technology Partner in TeQuants: A European Project for Quantum Telecommunications

The TeQuants project forms part of an ambitious European initiative: to prepare for the advent of quantum telecommunications, a strategic field for communications security and digital sovereignty. Funded by the ESA (European Space Agency) and the European Union, with support from the CNES (French National Centre for Space Studies), TeQuants aims to develop the technological building blocks required to enable ground-to-space optical links capable of reliably transmitting quantum keys (QKD).
