Inhaltsangabe

Adaptive Optics (AO) is a technique allowing the manipulation of the wavefront of the light benefitting multiple fields like Microscopy, Optical Coherence Tomography, Visual Testing, Optical Communications, and Astronomical Optics, just to mention some examples. Handbook of Adaptive Optics contains a complete picture of the technique from the foundations to the most promising applications of AO in a variety of fields.

Within this book, the reader will find different sections, including: a complete and rigorous introduction to the foundation of the technique from a general perspective, providing the reader a solid basis in AO with particular emphasis on wavefront sensing methods and aberration correctors. It also discusses state-of-the-art applications and industrial usages with their particular constraints and methods to incorporate AO, like in some imaging techniques of importance for Biomedical Optics, in Astronomy and for Visual Optics. Furthermore, it explores discussions of the future of AO together with some of the most exciting emerging applications, including quantum technologies, scattering correction, space telescopes, and discrete AO, among others.

This timely handbook will be an important companion to those starting in the field, but it will also serve as a comprehensive resource for researchers and experts who are already working with AO.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Enrique Josua Fernandez is currently Associate Professor of Optics at the Department of Physics, University of Murcia, Spain. He has contributed to the development of Adaptive Optics in Visual Science from basic research to industrial applications. He has designed and implemented a variety of experimental setups to study the human eye from different perspectives and techniques. He has introduced several concepts in Adaptive Optics, as the visual simulator, the modality of pancorrection for retinal imaging, combining the compensation of chromatic and monochromatic aberrations, among others. He is the first author of several seminal papers and patents in the field.
