Abstract
Uniform laser beams with controllable patterns are crucial for various applications, including laser processing and inertial confinement fusion. While some methods have been proposed to generate flattop beams, they often require complex optical systems that can become ineffective because of the misalignment of the system or the imperfection of optical elements. To overcome these issues, we utilized feedback-based wavefront shaping (FWS) technology to generate flattop beams with desired patterns from a disordered light. To solve the multi-goal optimization problem, we propose some modifications based on the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA2) and successfully generate focal beams with a uniform intensity distribution and controllable beam shape from the disordered light field.
