Advanced Wavefront Control Techniques [PDF]

, 2001
Programs at LLNL that involve large laser systems--ranging from the National Ignition Facility to new tactical laser weapons--depend on the maintenance of laser beam quality through precise control of the optical wavefront. This can be accomplished using adaptive optics, which compensate for time-varying aberrations that are often caused by heating in ...

Reinforcement Learning Environment for Wavefront Sensorless Adaptive Optics in Single-Mode Fiber Coupled Optical Satellite Communications Downlinks

Photonics, 2023
Optical satellite communications (OSC) downlinks can support much higher bandwidths than radio-frequency channels. However, atmospheric turbulence degrades the optical beam wavefront, leading to reduced data transfer rates.

Compensation of phase nonlinearity of liquid crystal spatial light modulator for high-resolution wavefront correction [PDF]

Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2015
The ability of phase modulation enables liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LCSLM) to control wavefront. However, the disadvantage of its inherent nonlinear phase response will decrease the wavefront control accuracy.

Focusing and Compression of Ultrashort Pulses through Scattering Media [PDF]

, 2011
Light scattering in inhomogeneous media induces wavefront distortions which pose an inherent limitation in many optical applications. Examples range from microscopy and nanosurgery to astronomy.

Coherent Raman Generation Controlled by Wavefront Shaping [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractWe investigate the possibility of tailoring coherent Raman generated spectra via adaptive wavefront optimization. Our technique combines a spatial light modulator and a spectrometer providing a feedback loop. The algorithm is capable of controlling the Raman generation, producing broader spectra and an improved overall efficiency, and ...

Coupling Plasmonic System for Efficient Wavefront Control

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2021
Efficient and flexible manipulation of electromagnetic waves using metasurfaces has attracted continuous attention in recent years. However, previous studies mainly apply sole resonance effect to accomplish the task. Here, we show that introducing a meta-coupling effect would reveal further physical insights in the electromagnetic wave control.

Telescope to Observe Planetary Systems (TOPS): a high throughput 1.2-m visible telescope with a small inner working angle [PDF]

, 2006
The Telescope to Observe Planetary Systems (TOPS) is a proposed space mission to image in the visible (0.4-0.9 micron) planetary systems of nearby stars simultaneously in 16 spectral bands (resolution R~20). For the ~10 most favorable stars, it will have

Simulation-based design optimization of the holographic wavefront sensor in closed-loop adaptive optics

Light: Advanced Manufacturing, 2022
Adaptive optics systems are used to compensate for wavefront distortions introduced by atmospheric turbulence. The distortions are corrected by an adaptable device, normally a deformable mirror.
