2004 - 2005 News and Press Releases September 2005 – The United States Air Force awards a $750k Phase II SBIR to Iris AO to build an adaptive-optics equipped confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AOcSLO) and laser delivery system to study laser damage thresholds. The technology will deliver diffraction-limited imaging and laser delivery performance. September 2005 – Iris AO begins research on a Phase II SBIR awarded from the National Science Foundation to develop a PZT Multimorph MOEMS Deformable Mirror. The research grant will develop piezoelectric actuators for Iris AO’s already successful segmented MEMS deformable mirrors. Piezoelectric actuators promise to decrease actuation voltages from 100-200V down to 10-20V while maintaining stroke performance. July 2005 – The National Academy of Engineering selects Iris AO founder Michael Helmbrecht, Ph.D. to participate in the 11th annual Frontiers of Engineering program. The select group of chosen participants is a mix of leaders in academia and industry. Read the National Academy of Engineering's press release and the U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Fact Sheet. October 5, 2004 – Iris AO a leader in high performance microelectromechanical (MEMS) adaptive optics, today announced that one of its co-founders, Michael A. Helmbrecht, has been named to the 2004 list of the world's 100 Top Young Innovators by Technology Review, MIT's Magazine of Innovation.
