An optical adaptive system with closed feedback for correcting the radiation of powerful femtosecond lasers with characteristics of a deformable bimorph mirror and a Shack-Hartmann wave-front sensor is described.

Bimorph deformable mirror with a high density of electrodes to correct for atmospheric distortions.

A new development of small-diameter, high-spatial-resolution, semipassive bimorph deformable mirrors to be used in different imaging systems is presented, with the main parameters of these wavefront correctors, such as the response functions of different electrodes, temporal behavior, and the ability to compensate for high-order aberrations.

Applicability of small size wavefront correctors to compensate for wavefront distortions in laser systems

As well known, the quality of radiation of laser beam is reduced during propagation along optical trace, because of various reasons (for example, atmospheric turbulence, scattering, thermal

In-door artificial atmospheric beamlet as a test-bed for adaptive optics

The in-door free atmosphere path with the total length up to 700 m provides the unique capabilities for testing optical systems in the stable, controlled and repeatable atmospheric conditions. We

Numerical simulation of a bilayer PMN ceramic bimorph deformable mirror

A novel design of bimorph deformable mirror (DM) is presented. Compared with the bilayer lead zirconium titanate (PZT) ceramic structure, the bilayer lead magnesium niobate (PMN) ceramic structure

Structured Laguerre–Gaussian beams for mitigation of spherical aberration in tightly focused regimes

Many laser applications utilise a focused laser beam having a single-lobed intensity profile in the focal plane, ideally with the highest possible on-axis intensity. Conventionally, this is achieved
