Abstract:

This paper presents the optical layout and composition of a system for automatically adjusting the multipass power module of a next-generation laser apparatus. An adjustment technique based on near-field and far-field markers is described. A control program under the Astra Linux operating system is described for the automatic-adjustment system.
