About this ebook
Principles of Adaptive Optics covers the basic principles of optics, wavefront sensing, controls, and wavefront correction that encompass the specialized field called adaptive optics. This book is composed of eight chapters that summarize the fundamental technology developments and the basic understanding of the various disciplines used in adaptive optics. After briefly reviewing the history, background, and developments of adaptive optics, this book goes on discussing the many sources of phase aberrations addressed by adaptive optics systems, such as linear effects due to turbulence, optical manufacturing, and misalignments, as well as errors that result from nonlinear thermal effects and fluid properties. The subsequent chapter deals with the performance enhancing role of adaptive optics systems in various disturbances. Other chapters describe the wavefront sampling, sensing, and correction subsystems. The concluding chapters explore the fundamental principles behind the adaptive optics control system and present summary expressions to determine the basic system parameters of an adaptive optics atmospheric compensation system. Communication scientists and engineers will find this work invaluable.

Robert Tyson
Robert Tyson grew up listening to the stories told of his great-grandfather, Jim Tyson. Robert and his wife Linda live on Jim Tysons Ranch with its 1800s mystique. Robert is retired from several successful and exciting occupations, but he is not retired from life. He is a retired airline captain, a retired state senator, and a semi-retired rancher. Presently he is a would-be mountain man, spending his summers on horseback in the Wind River Range of the Rockies in Wyoming. The peaceful old stone buildings on the ranch and the majestic mountains of the west have silently beckoned Robert to write. In this encouraging environment, Robert has answered the call with this compelling story of a pioneer on the prairie.
