Abstract
In this Letter, we present an adaptive aberration correction system to simultaneously compensate for aberrations and reshaping the beams. A low-order aberration corrector is adapted. In this corrector, four lenses are mounted on a motorized rail, whose positions can be obtained using a ray tracing method based on the beam parameters detected by a wavefront sensor. After automatic correction, the PV value of the wavefront is reduced from 26.47 to 1.91μm, and the beam quality β is improved from 18.42 to 2.86 times that of the diffraction limit. After further correction with a deformable mirror, the PV value of the wavefront is less than 0.45μm, and the beam quality is 1.64 times that of the diffraction limit. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest performance from such a high-power, high-pulse repetition rate Nd:YAG solid-state laser ever built.
