Abstract

A system for correcting the wavefront of a laser beam includes a beamsplitter for splitting off a fraction of the laser beam to be used as a diagnostic beam, a focusing element for bringing the diagnostic beam to a focus, a measurement subsystem for measuring sizes of the diagnostic beam at upstream and/or downstream locations with respect to a nominal location of the focus, and at least one adaptive optic, located upstream from the beamsplitter, for correcting the wavefront of the laser beam at least partly based on the measured sizes of the diagnostic beam at the upstream and/or downstream locations. The upstream and downstream locations correspond to mid-field locations in the laser beam as imaged by the focusing element. The system takes advantage of the sensitivity of the laser beam size to a waist location shift being greatest at one Rayleigh length from the nominal waist location.
