Innovative technology for optical and infrared astronomy [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2012 Advances in astronomy are often enabled by adoption of new technology. In some instances this is where the technology has been invented specifically for astronomy, but more usually it is adopted from another scientific or industrial area of application. The adoption of new technology typically occurs via one of two processes.

Adaptive Optics for Astronomy [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012 Adaptive optics is a prime example of how progress in observational astronomy can be driven by technological developments. At many observatories it is now considered to be part of a standard instrumentation suite, enabling ground-based telescopes to reach the diffraction limit and, thus, providing spatial resolution superior to that achievable from ...
