Adaptive optics for laser processing

The overall aim of the work presented in this thesis is to develop an adaptive optics (AO) technique for application to laser-based manufacturing processes. The Gaussian beam shape typically coming from a laser is not always ideal for laser machining. Wavefront modulators, such as deformable mirrors...
