Abstract

High power lasers often suffer from phase aberrations due to spatially non-uniform temperature distributions in optical elements. Adaptive optics has been established to provide engineering control over phase aberrations, but it has been mostly applied to astronomy and has been too costly to use in commercial lasers. The goal of our research has been to develop low-cost adaptive optics systems and components for laser aberration compensation. We present here a summary of our adaptive optics work and our vision of the future of adaptive optics.
