Field Guide to Adaptive Optics

From Book News, Inc.
This slim, spiral bound volume provides basic information on adaptive optics. Aimed at students, researchers, and practicing engineers, it uses a modular approach that places a single topic on each page, accompanied by drawings, graphs, and charts. Coverage includes such topics as atmospheric turbulence models, beam propagation, system performance estimation, computational latency, and deformable mirror requirements. The volume also features a glossary of terms and a section of equation summaries.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Description
Third in the SPIE Field Guide Series, this is a summary of the methods for determining the requirements of an adaptive optics system, the performance of the system, and requirements for the components of the system. Many of the expressions are in the form of integrals. When that is the case, the authors show the results graphically for a variety of practical values. This volume is intended for students, researchers, and practicing engineers who want a "go to" book when the calculation is needed quickly.
