Abstract:

The closed-loop adaptive optical system based on the deformable bimorph mirror, Shack-Hartmann wave front sensor, and an electronic control system is presented. A phase conjugation algorithm is used for correcting the laser beam. The use of radiation pulses of 10 TW power from a titanium-sapphire laser allows the power density at the focus of a parabolic mirror to be increased by 50 times.
