SUMMER SCHOOL ON ADAPTIVE OPTICS 2000
DESCRIPTION:
We will be meeting on the beautiful campus of the University of California in
Santa Cruz to learn the techniques of adaptive optics and the way they are applied
in practice. With the advent of adaptive optics systems on large telescopes
that are accessible to large user communities (Gemini, VLT, Keck, and many 4m-class
telescopes), there is a need to spread the knowledge of how to use this complicated
technology effectively. In addition to astronomy, the Summer School will address
applications of adaptive optics to vision science. We will be describing system
components, and the general adaptive optics concepts that will be relevant for
both astronomy and vision science. The level of this summer school is appropriate
to graduate students, postdocs, and researchers who are not experts in the field.
