Title :
Broadband operation of high-damage-threshold phase and polarization binary beam shapers

Lab. for Laser Energetics, Univ. of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USA
Abstract :
Near-field binary beam shapers based on error diffusion have demonstrated a damage threshold higher than 30 J/cm2. Their fabrication tolerance and operation with broadband pulses are investigated for application to short-pulse high-energy lasers.
