Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book, written by one of the leaders in the field, covers the principles and theory of adaptive optics, and describes in detail how this technology can be applied to large ground-based telescopes to conmpensate for the effects of atmospheric turbulence. In addition to information on basic adaptive optics components and technology, there are chapters on atmospheric turbulence, optical image structure, laser beacons, and overall system design. The overall design of adaptive optics systems, including performance estimation and optimization, receives detailed treatment. This book provides a fundamental understanding of the physical principles of adaptive optics technology, so that it will have lasting value as a complete and accessible source of reference.
MoreLong description:
This book by one of the leaders in adaptive optics covers the fundamental theory and then describes in detail how this technology can be applied to large ground-based telescopes to compensate for the effects of atmospheric turbulence. It includes information on basic adaptive optics components and technology, and has chapters devoted to atmospheric turbulence, optical image structure, laser beacons, and overall system design. The chapter on system design is particularly detailed and includes performance estimation and optimization. Combining a clear discussion of physical principles with numerous real-world examples, this book will be a valuabe resource for all graduate students and researchers in astronomy and optics.
