Abstract

A high-resolution, high-precision beam-shaping system for high-power-laser systems is demonstrated. A liquid-crystal-on-silicon spatial light modulator is run in closed-loop to shape laser-beam amplitude and wavefront. An unprecedented degree of convergence is demonstrated, and important practical issues are discussed. Wavefront shaping for the applications in OMEGA EP laser is demonstrated, and other interesting examples are presented.

Fig. 4 Illustration of algorithm-dependent frequency-response effects. The frequency response of Hudgin, Fried, and Southwell reconstructors is shown on the left as well as that of the band-limited reconstructor. A signal oscillating at a spatial frequency of 80% of the sensor’s sampling limit is reconstructed through a Shack–Hartmann sensor. The effects of attenuation or amplification are shown according to different reconstructors.
