M-shaped beam profile output from an off-axis relay-imaging eight-pass Nd:glass laser preamplifier

In ultra-high-power/energy solid-state Nd:glass laser facilities, the gain distribution of the main amplifier system (MAS) is nonuniform owing to strong amplified spontaneous emissions in the MAS. A shaped beam profile from a preamplifier (PreAMP) should be set opposite to the gain profile in the MA...
