Title: An adaptive optic for correcting low-order wavefront aberrations

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/14416· OSTI ID:14416

Adaptive Optics used for correcting low-order wavefront aberrations were tested and compared using interferometry, beam propagation, and a far-field test. Results confirm that the design and manufacturing specifications were met. Experimental data also confirms theoretical performance expectations, indicating the usefulness of these optics (especially in a laser-beam processing system), and identifying the resulting differences between the two fabrication methods used to make the optics.
