Adaptive Optics: Methods, Analysis and Applications (AO)
Adaptive Optics: Methods, Analysis and Applications (AO) focuses on AO analysis, methods and systems across multiple application areas including free space optical communications, space situational awareness, ophthalmology, vision science, microscopy, astronomy, high energy beam control and beam propagation and control.
This meeting spans the multi-disciplinary aspects between the adaptive optics methods developed and used by various communities pursuing different applications with an emphasis on investigating the commonality and possible synergies.
Presented work will include reports of existing and future systems.
