This paper presents the experimental results on the intracavity adaptive correction of the thermooptical phase distortions in the pulsed YAG-laser. Average 3-times increase in the beam axes intensity has been achieved with only 10% loss in the total output laser pulse energy. The system stability to variations of the thermooptical distortions has been demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
