Abstract :
In this paper we present commercially available adaptive optical system for laser beam control. This system consists of wavefront corrector, bimorph deformable mirror, Shack-Hartmann type wavefront sensor, electronic control unit and software. The results of the work of the adaptive system to control the beam in 2 solid state laser systems based on Ti:S and YAG:Nd is also presented.
