High resolution spectroscopy experiments with visible adaptive optics (AO) telescopes at Starfire OpticalRange and Mt. Wilson have demonstrated that spectral resolution can be routinely improved by a factor of~ 10 over the seeing-limited case with no extra light losses at visible wavelengths. With large CCDs nowavailable, a very wide wavelength range can be covered in a single exposure.In the near future, most large ground-based telescopes will be equipped with powerful AO systems.
