Abstract
A low diffraction-feedback high-energy laser system includes an injection laser, and a master power amplifier (MOPA). The master oscillator power amplifier preferably includes a convex and a concave cavity reflector. A sensor mounted to the convex reflector is operative to provide a signal indication of cavity turbulence.
