Adaptive optics regulatory science at the FDA

Applications of Adaptive Optics for Vision Science

There are a number of applications of adaptive optics for basic research in vision science, as it is now possible to study microstructures in the living human retina which could not be done before. One of the biggest merits provided by adaptive optics is that it is non-invasive. In this chapter, we describe the applications of an adaptive optics system for vision research, not only for basic sc...

A sad day for science at the FDA.

Astronomical Science with Adaptive Optics at the W. M. Keck Observatory

The first refereed science papers based on data with the Keck II natural guide star (NGS) and laser guide star (LGS) adaptive optics (AO) system were published in 2000 January and 2005 May, respectively. As of the end of 2012 a total of 260 refereed science papers have been published based on Keck NGS AO data and 152 with the Keck LGS AO system. This paper provides an overview of the first doze...

Progress with Adaptive Optics Testbeds at the UCO/Lick Observatory Laboratory for Adaptive Optics

We report on experimental results with adaptive optics testbeds at the UCO/Lick Observatory. One testbed is dedicated to high contrast AO imaging and is a prototype for a ground-based extrasolar planet imager for the Gemini telescope. The second testbed is dedicated to developing concepts and architectures for multilaser guidestar tomography in wide-field AO applications. Such systems are now u...
