自适应光学暑期班实验活动
The Adaptive Optics Summer School Laboratory Activities
摘要：
自适应光学（AO）是一个新兴且迅速发展的仪器领域，但天文学家、视觉科学家和一般AO从业者对AO系统至关重要的根本技术基本上不熟悉。AO暑期学校（AOSS）由自适应光学中心主办，是一个为期一周的课程，培训研究生和博士后研究人员的基本理论，设计和使用AO系统。AOSS的参与者包括希望利用AO数据的天文学家，将使用AO仪器进行研究的视觉科学家，设计AO系统的光学师和工程师以及高带宽激光通信系统的用户。在这篇文章中，我们描述了新的AOSS实验室会议在2006-2009年实施的近250名学生。活动目标包括提高对AO技术的熟悉程度，加强光学对准技术和光学系统设计的知识，并鼓励使用AO系统作为研究工具探究视觉科学中的关键科学问题。活动分为三个站：视觉科学，傅立叶光学和AO演示。我们简要概述了这些活动，这些活动在这些会议记录的其他文章中得到了充分描述（Putnam et al.，Do等人，和Harrington等人，分别）。我们专注于这些活动的设计中遇到的独特挑战，包括类似调查的调查技术与复杂内容的结合，以及需要调整深度到研究生和博士水平的观众。根据2008年进行的前后调查，绝大多数参与者发现，所有活动对他们的职业生涯都很有价值，尽管与集成的功能性AO系统的直接经验特别有益。
英文摘要：
Adaptive Optics (AO) is a new and rapidly expanding field of instrumentation, yet astronomers, vision scientists, and general AO practitioners are largely unfamiliar with the root technologies crucial to AO systems. The AO Summer School (AOSS), sponsored by the Center for Adaptive Optics, is a week-long course for training graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the underlying theory, design, and use of AO systems. AOSS participants include astronomers who expect to utilize AO data, vision scientists who will use AO instruments to conduct research, opticians and engineers who design AO systems, and users of high-bandwidth laser communication systems. In this article we describe new AOSS laboratory sessions implemented in 2006-2009 for nearly 250 students. The activity goals include boosting familiarity with AO technologies, reinforcing knowledge of optical alignment techniques and the design of optical systems, and encouraging inquiry into critical scientific questions in vision science using AO systems as a research tool. The activities are divided into three stations: Vision Science, Fourier Optics, and the AO Demonstrator. We briefly overview these activities, which are described fully in other articles in these conference proceedings (Putnam et al., Do et al., and Harrington et al., respectively). We devote attention to the unique challenges encountered in the design of these activities, including the marriage of inquiry-like investigation techniques with complex content and the need to tune depth to a graduate- and PhD-level audience. According to before-after surveys conducted in 2008, the vast majority of participants found that all activities were valuable to their careers, although direct experience with integrated, functional AO systems was particularly beneficial.
