ADAPTIVE OPTICS: AO system for HiLASE laser is optimized

摘要

Researchers at the HiLASE high-power multi-slab laser project, located at the Institute of Physics AS CR (Prague, Czech Republic), along with their colleagues at CNR-IFN (Padova, Italy) and the Czech Technical University in Prague, have created a system that simulates optical aberrations produced by the heating and cooling processes expected within HiLASE, allowing them to optimize an aberration-correcting adaptive-optics (AO) system even though the HiLASE is still under development.
