Know about the book -

Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Adaptive Optics for Industry and Medicine is written by Gordon D. Love and published by World Scientific. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9810241151 (ISBN 10) and 9789810241155 (ISBN 13).

This volume contains state-of-the-art research papers on adaptive optics used outside the usual astronomical and military applications. It is the first book to cover this new area of research. One of the main industrial applications is in the control of laser wavefronts, and the book contains papers on both intra- and extra-laser cavity correction. The measurement and control of ocular aberrations is the major medical application, and the topics are discussed by leading researchers in the field. Papers on adaptive optics components specifically for non-astronomical systems are also presented. Other topics include laser communications, microscopy and low-cost systems.
