Abstract:

The problem of the focused Gaussian beam thermal blooming for a path with an exponentially decreasing nonlinearity parameter is discussed. Numerical simulation is used to study potential efficiency of the predicted phase correction of the distortions. Higher aberrations are assumed to be compensated by means of a composite mirror with a hexagonal segment packaging. The correction efficiency for lower aberrations such as slope, defocusing, astigmatism is also examined.
