An overview of the latest developments of kilowatt-level diode pumped solid state lasers for
advanced applications at the HiLASE Centre is presented. An overview of subcontracted …

Measurements based on optical microscopy can be severely impaired if the access exhibits
variations of the refractive index. In the case of fluctuating liquid-gas boundaries, refraction …

A wavefront corrector has been designed in the form of a cooled stacked-actuator
deformable mirror for the correction of aberrations of laser radiation propagating through the …

An adaptive optics (AO) system is composed of three key elements: a wave-front sensor
(WFS) that detects the aberrations, a deformable mirror (DM) that provides the wavefront …

A 100-J-level Nd: glass laser system in nanosecond-scale pulse width has been constructed
to perform as a standard source of high-fluence-laser science experiments. The laser …

A fully automatic fail-safe beam shaping system based on a liquid crystal on a silicon spatial
light modulator has been implemented in the high-energy kilowatt-average-power …

We present the workflow of the design, realization and testing of deformable mirrors suitable
for high power diode pumped solid-state lasers. It starts with the study of the aberration to be …

We demonstrate a diode-pumped master oscillator power amplifier Nd: YAG 1064 nm laser
with sub-joule-level output energy of 0.43 J, high pulse repetition rate of 200 Hz, and short …

We present a compact refractive shaping system for actively compensating low order
aberrations of high power slab lasers. The shaping system includes three spherical lenses …

High-power laser plays an important role in many fields, such as directed energy weapon,
optoelectronic contermeasures, inertial confinement fusion, industrial processing and …
