Abstract
A high uniformity flattop beam is essential in various scientific and industrial applications. However, commercial lasers often suffer from beam quality degradation, leading to a distorted beam shape. In this paper, we propose a staged Adam-stochastic parallel gradient descent (ASPGD) algorithm and a modulated performance metric for flattop beam correction. The staged optimization process contains a pre-optimization of the focus point to generate a proper initial phase mask for accelerating the flattop beam correction. The developed comprehensive performance metric is compared with the conventional mean square error and proven to be more effective. The proposed beam shaping strategy can achieve a high-uniformity flattop beam without measuring the complex amplitude aberration of the incidence. Numerical simulations validate the feasibility of the proposed method under different distorted incidences. In the experiment, we corrected the uniformity of several flattop beams under an elliptically Gaussian distributed incidence, and all beams achieved uniformity better than 0.12, as evaluated according to the ISO 13694 standard
期刊介绍:
Optics and Lasers in Engineering aims at providing an international forum for the interchange of information on the development of optical techniques and laser technology in engineering. Emphasis is placed on contributions targeted at the practical use of methods and devices, the development and enhancement of solutions and new theoretical concepts for experimental methods.
Optics and Lasers in Engineering reflects the main areas in which optical methods are being used and developed for an engineering environment. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers focusing on parameter optimization or computational issues are not suitable. Similarly, papers focussed on an application rather than the optical method fall outside the journal''s scope. The scope of the journal is defined to include the following:
-Optical Metrology-
Optical Methods for 3D visualization and virtual engineering-
Optical Techniques for Microsystems-
Imaging, Microscopy and Adaptive Optics-
Computational Imaging-
Laser methods in manufacturing-
Integrated optical and photonic sensors-
Optics and Photonics in Life Science-
Hyperspectral and spectroscopic methods-
Infrared and Terahertz techniques
