Adaptive Optics for Vision Science:
Principles, Practices, Design and Applications

Edited by Jason Porter, Hope Queener, Julianna Lin, Karen Thorn, & Abdul Awwal

The Adaptive Optics (AO) Manual was created to provide readers with the fundamental and detailed concepts, engineering tools, and techniques needed to design, build and implement adaptive optics systems for vision science applications. The manual serves to educate scientists, clinicians, engineers, and students. Each chapter in the manual has been authored by one or more experts in the specific field and has been technically reviewed by impartial referees who are also experts in the respective field. Even though the book's primary focus is on AO systems for vision science, we believe vision scientists and astronomers alike will find much of the material to be useful. For example, many principles for measuring and correcting aberrations (chapters 3-8) are similar across disciplines. To learn more about the AO Manual, please refer to the Table of Contents (listed below) and to the book's webpage at John Wiley & Sons (click here). We thank the Center for Adaptive Optics for funding this project and John Wiley & Sons, Inc. for working with us to bring the book to print.
