ABSTRACT
The beam pointing of a multi-terawatt laser [corrected] is stabilized on a millisecond time scale using an active control system. Two piezo mirrors, two position sensing detectors, and a computer based optimization program ensure that both near- and far-field are stable, even during single shot operation. A standard deviation for the distribution of laser shots of 2.6 µ rad is achieved.
