    Area of Science:

    • Laser physics
    • Optical engineering

    Background:

    • Adaptive optics is crucial for enhancing beam quality in solid-state slab lasers.
    • Conventional methods struggle with uncorrectable aberrations in specific beam zones, limiting further correction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a weighted least-squares (WLS) reconstruction method.
    • To improve the sensitivity of zones with minor aberrations for better beam quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed a weighted least-squares reconstruction algorithm.
    • Applied smaller weights to zones with larger residual aberrations.

    Main Results:

    • Peak intensity in the far field increased from 1242 ADU to 2248 ADU.
    • Beam quality parameter β improved from 2.5 to 2.0.
    • Demonstrated superior performance over conventional least-squares methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The weighted least-squares method effectively addresses uncorrectable aberrations in slab laser systems.
    • This approach significantly enhances laser beam quality and intensity.
