Overview
Adaptive optics systems and components have achieved a level of sophistication and simplicity that goes beyond traditional applications in astronomy and the military and into developments in medicine, manufacturing, and communications. This book was written for those interested in the multidisciplinary technology and those who need a broad-brush explanation without wading through thousands of journal articles. It follows the structure of a one-day tutorial taught by the author, including humor and sidebars of historical material.Editorials

Bridging the gap between the depth of a popular magazine article on adaptive optics and a detailed text on the subject, this introduction follows the structure of a full-day tutorial covering basic principles, language and definitions, atmospheric turbulence, laser guide stars, system configuration, wavefront sensors, deformable mirrors, and control computers and reconstructors.
