Adaptive Optics 101: Overview, Tech Review, and Applications
Originally introduced in the 1950s as a concept for improving astronomical imaging by correcting atmospheric aberration, it took nearly two decades for adaptive optics (AO) technology to catch up with theory and starlight to hit the first AO system. Now, with proven applications and mature, affordable components, AO is poised for widespread use in a myriad of optical fields.
