Adaptive optics is a technique for correcting wavefront distortions in light beams to improve optical imaging performance. The Research Network for Adaptive Optics aims to draw together isolated Australian and New Zealand research groups working on adaptive optics applications in disparate areas to achieve a critical mass of researchers in this burgeoning field. Adaptive optics has wide application in areas as diverse as astronomy, vision science, ophthalmology, microscopy, optical communications, laser radar, and laser beam shaping. The Research Network will coordinate and expand Australian involvement in these areas and inform industry, as have similar networks in the USA and Europe.

自适应光学是一种校正光束波前畸变以提高光学成像性能的技术。自适应光学研究网络旨在将澳大利亚和新西兰孤立的研究小组聚集在一起，在不同的领域研究自适应光学应用，以达到这个新兴领域的研究人员的临界质量。自适应光学在天文学、视觉科学、眼科学、显微学、光通信、激光雷达、激光束整形等领域有着广泛的应用。研究网络将协调和扩大澳大利亚在这些领域的参与，并为工业界提供信息，就像美国和欧洲的类似网络一样。
