    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Laser Technology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Measuring wavefront aberrations in pulsed near-infrared (NIR) laser beams (<2200 nm) is challenging due to the limited availability and high cost of suitable detectors.
    • Traditional wavefront sensing methods may not be cost-effective or practical for all NIR applications.
    • The need for accessible aberration measurement techniques in the NIR spectrum is growing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a straightforward and cost-effective wavefront sensing scheme for pulsed laser beams in the near-infrared spectrum.
    • To demonstrate the feasibility of using two-photon absorption in silicon detectors for NIR aberration measurements.
    • To adapt a commercially available Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor for this application.

    Main Methods:

    • The proposed method utilizes two-photon absorption (TPA) in a silicon detector array to enable detection of longer NIR wavelengths.
    • A standard Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor was modified and employed to implement the TPA-based sensing scheme.
    • The sensitivity of the TPA detection method was investigated.

    Main Results:

    • A simple and functional wavefront sensing scheme for pulsed NIR laser beams was successfully demonstrated.
    • The implementation using a commercial Shack-Hartmann sensor proved straightforward.
    • The detection sensitivity of the two-photon absorption method was analyzed, showing its viability for aberration measurement.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed two-photon absorption technique offers a practical solution for wavefront aberration measurement of pulsed NIR laser beams.
    • This method enhances accessibility by leveraging silicon detectors, overcoming limitations of specialized NIR detectors.
    • The findings pave the way for more widespread use of wavefront sensing in NIR laser applications.
