Wavefront aberration and correction characteristics in high power solid-state verification facility

In order to optimize the design scheme of the wavefront control system in a high power solid-state laser facility, wavefront test and correction experiment are conducted on a verification facility. The results show that, although the equivalent number of Nd: glasses increases, the output static and dynamic wavefronts without defocus component is not largely raised for the application of U-turn beam reverser in the main amplifier. However, the defocus component visibly increases. And the laser is blocked at the pinhole of the spatial filter. The output near field of the main amplifier has sharp modulation and energy loss. In the experiment, the defocus component before each pinhole is adjusted in advance by moving the focal lens in the optical path. And the static wavefront without defocus
