4. 3. Focal Spot Optimization Using Spatial Light Modulation and a Phase Retrieval Algorithm

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Robert Petersen; [2023]
   Keywords : Spatial Light Modulation; Phase Retrieval Algorithm; Focal Spot Optimization; Adaptive Optics; Wavefront Sensing; Lasers; Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Aberrations to the wavefront of a laser beam reduce the quality of the focal spot and are generally undesired. This project is aimed at determining the aberrations of laser beams by using a phase retrieval algorithm and to show that it is possible to correct the aberrations with a spatial light modulator to optimize the focal spot.
