Real-time target alignment system for high-power laser operations using a hybrid mechanism

To utilise the full potential of high-power lasers, such as for fusion energy applications, large-scale facilities need to operate at high-repetition rates. The challenge of positioning and aligning a target at the laser beam focus with an accuracy of few micrometres (typically ± 4 μm) is significan...
