ADAPTIVE OPTICS FOR INDUSTRY AND MEDICINE
Proceedings of the Sixth International Workshop
National University of Ireland, Ireland 12 - 15 June 2007

edited by Christopher Dainty (National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland & Imperial College, London, UK)

Table of Contents (421k)
Preface (386k)
Liquid Crystal Lenses For Correction Of Presbyopia (586k)

This proceedings volume presents the very latest developments in non-astronomical adaptive optics. This international workshop, the sixth in a biennial series, was the largest ever held and boasted significant involvement by industry. Adaptive optics is on the verge of being used in many products; indeed, at this meeting, the use of adaptive optics in DVD players was disclosed for the first time.
