Postdeadline Paper Presentations
The program committees of AO/COSI/FTS/HISE accepted postdeadline papers for presentation. The purpose of postdeadline sessions is to give participants the opportunity to hear new and significant materials in rapidly advancing areas. Only those papers judged to be truly excellent and compelling in their timelines were accepted.
For more information, including the schedule and locations see the Postdeadline papers appended to the back of the program book.

About Adaptive Optics: Methods, Analysis and Applications (AO)
Adaptive Optics: Methods, Analysis and Applications (AO) investigates the commonality and possible synergies between the adaptive optics methods developed and used by various communities pursuing different applications. AO has matured considerably over the last decade, in pace with technology development, with applications covering but not limited to commercial optical systems, ophthalmology and microscopy, beam propagation and atmospheric correction. The meeting will include a full spectrum of papers covering results of the most recent research, panel discussions, poster sessions, and time for informal discussion and interaction. Topics include AO systems and their component technologies including wavefront sensing optics and detectors, wavefront correction optics, control algorithms, laboratory and field tests, and signal processing electronics used in AO implementations. Of special interest is how to address current limitations in existing AO systems and novel applications.
