Product Description: Principles of Adaptive Optics describes the foundations, principles, and applications of adaptive optics (AO) and its enabling technologies. Addressing the fundamentals of AO at the core of new uses in biomedical imaging, communications, high-energy lasers, and astronomy, this fully revised and significantly expanded Fourth Edition: Contains all-new problem sets at the end of each chapter Incorporates cutting-edge research, with hundreds of new citations Adds a new section on the practical implications of control algorithms Includes a practical roadmap for developing a viable stable multichannel control system Presents new practical calibration techniques and new information on phase diversity for wavefront sensing Updates coverage of AO systems―e...read more

Product Description: This SPIE Field Guide provides a summary of the methods for determining the requirements of an adaptive optics system, the performance of the system, and the requirements for the components of the system. Many of the expressions are in the form of integrals, in which case the authors show the results graphically for a variety of practical values...read more

Product Description: Adaptive optics has been under development for well over 40 years. It is an indisputable necessity for all major ground-based astronomical telescopes and is the foundation for laser and wavefront sensor design. Lighter Side of Adaptive Optics is a nontechnical explanation of optics, the atmosphere, and the technology for 'untwinkling' the stars...read more
