Abstract / Description of output
New optical technologies have revolutionized astronomy, from the invention of the telescope 400 years ago to more recent developments of adaptive optics and segmented mirrors. The next disruptive technologies could well emerge from integrated photonic devices.
With 2009 being the International Year of Astronomy, it is an apt time to reflect on just how far telescope technologies have come, and speculate about the future
