Deformable mirror based on piezoelectric actuators for the adaptive system of the Iskra-6 facility

The main problem in developing high-power pulsed laser facilities (NIF, LMJ, and Iskra-6) is to provide the required quality of their output radiation. For this purpose, adaptive optical systems (AOSs) are used in all these facilities. The present research is devoted to determining the characteristics and working out the most troublesome elements of the AOS — the wavefront sensor and wide-aperture adaptive mirror for the Iskra-6 facility.
