Abstract

We present calculation of aberration compensation in high average power multi-slab laser by a deformable mirror. The calculations were compared with a simple experiment. For the calculations we have developed a code that works with a square-shaped piston driven push/pull deformable mirror with continuous facesheet and allows optimization of mirror parameters and actuator array geometry. We have corrected the calculated output wavefront of Hilase 10 J multi-slab laser system in MIRÓ by using several actuator array geometries. The numerical results were benchmarked on an experimental model of multi-slab chamber using a membrane deformable mirror.
