This paper describes the automatic wavefront correction of a femtosecond laser using a
genetic algorithm (GA). Because the femtosecond laser system can generate high power …

This paper describes the automatic adjustment of a femtosecond-pulse laser using genetic
algorithms (GA). Laser systems must be precisely adjusted, because the light beam has to …

This paper describes an evolvable laser system that can generate femtosecond optical
pulses. Laser systems must be aligned precisely, because the light has to travel many times …

We present programmable spatial beam-shaping of 100-kHz, 4-µJ amplified femtosecond
pulses in a focal plane using wavefront modulation. Phase distributions are determined by a …

An adaptive method based on the genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to control the location
of femtosecond laser filament. To verify the feasibility of this method, the simulation results …

Progress in the development of efficient and reliable diode-pumped femtosecond laser
systems based on both Kerr-lens and saturable-absorber mode locking is reported. Efficient …

Femtosecond laser technology continues to evolve and mature. Today, one can find
production quality lasers operating with repetition rates in the 10's of kHz producing several …

Typical applications of ultra-high-power femtosecond lasers include precision drilling and
surface micro-machining of metals, and micro-structuring of transparent materials. However …

Abstract. We report on automated pulse compression of regeneratively amplified
femtosecond laser pulses. By employing a feedback-controlled evolutionary algorithm in …

A femtosecond laser processing system with a target tracking feature was developed. The
block matching method based on a sum-of-squared-difference metric was used to measure …
