Adaptive Optics

Adaptive Optics is a branch of optical instrumentation within Observational Astronomy that employs real-time wavefront sensing and deformable mirrors to dynamically correct atmospheric distortions in astronomical observations, thereby enhancing the spatial resolution of ground-based telescopes in both optical and infrared wavelengths.
