Abstract
Since the concept of adaptive optics(AO) was proposed in 1953, AO has become an indispensable technology for large aperture ground-based optical telescopes aimed at high resolution observations. This paper provides a comprehensive review of AO progress for large aperture astronomical optical telescopes including both night-time and day-time solar optical telescopes. The recent AO technological advances, such as Laser Guide Star, Deformable Secondary Mirror, Extreme AO, and Multi-Conjugate AO are focused.
