Abstract
Significant advances have been made in the development and performance of large scale adaptive optical systems in recent years. Technological innovations in sensors, processors, wave front correctors, and laser guide stars have all contributed to the rapid growth of adaptive optics as an enabling technology for ground based optical astronomy in the 21st century.
