Beam cleanup of a 532 nm pulsed solid state laser using a bimorph mirror

A successful beam cleanup of a 5-mJ/200-1s pulsed solid-state laser system operating at 532-nm wavelength is demonstrated. In this beam cleanup system, a wave-front sensor-less adaptive optics (AO) system is set up with a 20-element bimorph mirror (BM), a high-voltage amplifier, a charge-coupled dev
