Abstract

Raman look through is a technique for extending the use of low-power adaptive optics to the control of high-power laser beams. This is done by incorporating a Raman amplifier into an adaptive-optics system. We report the results of a Raman look-through experiment, which is to our knowledge the first demonstration of this technique.
