Tyson R.K. Introduction to Adaptive Optics
The Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE) Publications, 2000, 116 pages

Adaptive optics systems and components have achieved a level of sophistication and simplicity that goes beyond traditional applications in astronomy and the military and into developments in medicine, manufacturing, and communications. This book was written for those interested in the multidisciplinary technology and those who need a broad-brush explanation without wading through thousands of joual articles. It follows the structure of a one-day tutorial taught by the author, including humor and sidebars of historical material.
Contents

- A long time ago, in a laboratory far far, really far, away

- Speaking the language - a few definitions
- Atmospheric turbulence - Bad air.bad, bad air
- Laser guide stars - a beacon in the wildeess
- Systems - putting it all together
