Problems solved by technology

In order to increase the gain multiple of the amplifier, super multi-pass amplification technology is adopted (Design and optimization of an adaptive optics system for a high-average-power multi-slab laser, "Applied Optics", Vol.53, 2014, 3255-3261), Due to the serious aberration accumulation effect of the amplified pulse in this technology, the beam quality has not been significantly improved after aberration correction using the current beam quality control method

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of laser equipment, and in particular relates to a method for controlling the quality of a laser beam in a super multi-pass amplification system. Background technique [0002] Multi-pass amplification technology has been widely used in the energy amplification of laser pulses, which greatly simplifies the structure of the amplification optical path. However, the optical components in the optical path and the heat-pumped laser amplification medium will cause wavefront distortion, which seriously affects the smooth realization of the optical pulse amplification process and the beam quality after pulse amplification. [0003] In order to overcome the negative effects of optical distortion, adaptive optics technology is applied to amplification technology (Adaptiveoptics-a progress review, "Proc. SPIE", Vol.1542, 1991, 2-17). To put it simply, the wavefront distortion of the laser pulse during the amplification...
