Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Adaptive optics is a powerful new technique used to sharpen telescope images blurred by the Earth's atmosphere. This authoritative book is the first dedicated to the use of adaptive optics in astronomy. It is written by an international team who have pioneered the field. It is set to become the standard reference for researchers and optical engineers in astronomy and other areas of science where adaptive optics is finding exciting new applications.

Críticas:

'Highly recommended for astronomical libraries and for anyone serious about using AO systems in future.' Paul O'Brien, The Observatory

'This new and expanded edition of what has become an established classic in the range of books on optics is most welcome ... provides a much needed reference work ... treatment of the subject is thorough and the reader is provided with an excellent review of a topic that has great relevance for the future of astronomy ... thoroughly recommended to all who have an interest in the design of optical systems for remote viewing.' Grant H. Thomson, The Imaging Science Journal
