Speaker: Jonas B. Ohland (GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research) The Apollon Real-Time Adaptive Optics (ARTAO) system addresses air turbulence-induced Strehl ratio fluctuations in Apollon, the 10 PW Ti:Sapphire laser system in France. With a 50 m multi-pass amplifier and a 140 mm beam diameter, turbulence previously caused significant beam quality instability. To resolve […]
