The field of \u003ci\u003eintegrated modeling, \u003c\/i\u003e combining optics, mechanics, control engineering, and other disciplines, is the subject of this book. Although the book primarily focuses on ground-based optical telescopes, the techniques introduced are applicable also to other wavelengths and to other opto-mechanical applications on the ground or in space. Basic tools of integrated modeling are introduced together with concepts of ground-based telescopes. Modeling of optical systems, structures, wavefront control systems with emphasis on segmented mirror control, and active and adaptive optics are described together with a variety of noise sources; many examples are included in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntegrated Modeling of Telescopes \u003c\/i\u003eis a text for physicists and engineers working in the field of opto-mechanical design and wavefront control, but it will also be valuable as a textbook for PhD students.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45277381361815,"sku":"9781461401483","price":10900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461401483.webp?v=1769288212","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/integrated-modeling-of-telescopes-9781461401483","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
