Adaptive Optics: Methods, Analysis and Applications

Adaptive Optics: Methods, Analysis and Applications

11 July 2022 – 15 July 2022 Hyatt Regency Vancouver, Vancouver, British Columbia, British Columbia Canada

Adaptive Optics technology has many applications and this Topical Meeting looks at the multi-disciplinary aspects with an emphasis on investigating the commonality and possible synergies  between the adaptive optics methods developed and used by various communities pursuing different applications. This meeting concentrating on analysis, methods and systems and will focus on AO technology across multiple applications including ophthalmology, vision science, microscopy,  astronomy, high energy beam control, and beam propagation. 


Topics

  • AO systems/component technologies
  • wavefront correction optics
  • reconstruction and control algorithms
  • machine learning methods for AO
  • imaging through scattering and turbid media
  • signal processing used in AO implementations
  • limitations and novel applications
