About Adaptive Optics: Methods, Analysis and Applications

This meeting investigates the possible synergies between the methods developed by various communities pursuing different applications. The meeting will include a full spectrum of papers from surveys, results of the most recent research, panel discussions, poster sessions, and time for informal discussion and interaction.

Topics to be Covered

  • AO concepts and applications
    • Advanced system concepts for atmospheric turbulence compensation, including multi-conjugate, multi-object, ground-layer, and extreme AO
    • Innovative applications, including vision science and optical communication
  • AO control algorithms
    • Optimal and adaptive control
    • Computationally efficient algorithms
    • Amplitude and phase control
    • PSF reconstruction and performance estimation
    • Simulation and modeling methods
  • Component technologies
    • Conventional, MEMS, and large deformable mirrors
    • Wavefront sensing optics and detectors
    • Signal processing electronics
    • Lasers and fiber optics for laser guidestar systems
  • AO laboratory and field tests

Due to increasing delays in securing visas to the US, we strongly encourage international attendees to begin this process as early as possible (but no later than three months before the meeting) to ensure timely processing. Please refer to the Letters of Invitation section of this website for additional information.
