Abstract
A system and method for monitoring the mode of an input beam to a phase conjugated master oscillator power amplifier (PC MOPA). In order to prevent catastrophic optical damage to the MOPA components, the method and system shuts down the master oscillator when a multi-mode input beam is detected.
