Abstract
Detailed studies of the central 100 AU’s of young stellar jets are critical to constrain current ejection theories. They require however subarcsecond angular resolution, achievable in the optical/NIR domain either from space with HST or from the ground with adaptive optics (AO) technics. I review in this contribution this latter technique and its application to the study of young stellar jets. I start with a general description of AO observing and the combination of AO with spectroscopy, with special emphasis on integral field spectroscopy (IFS). I then summarize recent results obtained on T Tauri microjets. The prospects of future AO systems regarding jet studies is finally briefly reviewed.
