摘要：
We measure the wavefront distortions of a high peak power ultrashort (23 fs) laser system under high average power load. After 6 min-100 Hz operation of the laser at full average power (> 22 W after compression), the thermally induced wavefront distortions reach a steady state and the far-field profile of the laser beam no longer changes. By means of a deformable mirror located after the vacuum compressor, we apply a static pre-compensation to correct those aberrations allowing us to demonstrate a dramatic improvement of the far-field profile at 100 Hz with the reduction of the residual wavefront distortions below lambda/16 before focusing. The applied technique provides 100 Hz operation of the femtosecond laser chain with stable pulse characteristics, corresponding to peak intensity above 10(19) W/cm(2) and average power of 19 W on target, which enables the study of relativistic optics at high repetition rate using a moderate f-number focusing optics (f/4.5).
