Diffraction limited focal spots for off-thermal equilibrium 100-TW Nd:Glass laser chain using a dielectric coated deformable mirror

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

We demonstrate the use of a dielectric-coated deformable mirror to correct LULI 100-TW Nd:Glass facility spatial aberrations. Almost diffraction limited foci have been obtained even when the laser chain amplifiers were highly off thermal equilibrium.
