Abstract

The constant increase of peak energy on high-intensity lasers necessitates the combined control of the laser pulse (with pulse shapers for temporal characterization) and the wavefront (with deformable mirrors for spatial characterization). Focusing the beam on the target creates space time couplings that were typically neglected until now. We have developed a solution that provides direct, spectrally-resolved wavefront measurements to characterize and quickly diminish those couplings. We will present concrete results on beamlines, highlighting the interest of a high spectral and spatial resolution system. Its simplicity of use will be demonstrated using the quick alignment of compressor gratings as an example.
