Adaptive Optics for Astronomical Telescopes (Oxford Series on Optical and Imaging Sciences)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book by one of the leaders in adaptive optics covers the fundamental theory and then describes in detail how this technology can be applied to large ground-based telescopes to compensate for the effects of atmospheric turbulence. It includes information on basic adaptive optics components
and technology, and has chapters devoted to atmospheric turbulence, optical image structure, laser beacons, and overall system design. The chapter on system design is particularly detailed and includes performance estimation and optimization. Combining a clear discussion of physical principles with
numerous real-world examples, this book will be a valuable resource for all graduate students and researchers in astronomy and optics.
