Abstract: While the latest technologies have enabled unprecedented laser intensities, the highest energy laser facilities usually operate in single-shot mode, namely firing a few shots a day. On the other side, the development of laser systems with higher repetition rates but lower peak power is always of fundamental interest, particularly for applications. Applications of the particle beams and radiation sources from laser-plasma interactions usually demand more than single-shot mode, and most applications do not require record high beam energies. Besides, having high-repetition-rate operation capabilities in both the laser systems and the plasma targets allows the use of statistical methods to assist the experiments. A popular control system for this purpose is an adaptive optical system, which usually consists of an adaptive optic, a measurement device, and a controller. Statistical methods such as optimization algorithms can therefore be applied in these closed-loop systems to achieve real-time improvement in experiments.
