Error analysis on assembly and alignment of laser optical unit

Error analysis on assembly and alignment of laser optical unit

As one of largest optical units used in high-power laser inertial confinement fusion facility, the large-aperture transport mirror’s misalignment error can have a very negative impact on the targeting performance of laser beams. In this article, we have carried out a fundamental analysis on the moun...
