Correction of static and thermal aberrations of a zigzag slab amplif ier employing a wave-front sensor-less adaptive optics system
We present a wave-front sensor-less adaptive optics (AO) system for a Nd:YAG Zigzag slab amplifier. A 39-element rectangular piezoelectric deformable mirror in combination with a stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm is introduced for both static and thermal aberrations correction. Preliminary experiments demonstrate that the output beam quality can be enhanced greatly at different power levels.
