Laser beam distribution system (LBDS) is an important component at any high-power laser facility. Being a system of mirrors, lenses, and windows, the LBDS can significantly contribute to the laser beam quality degradation at target location. Phase correcting methods are among the few instruments allowing efficient control over the laser spot quality at the application site. We present a simpler solution utilizing only a PSF camera at every site. The PSF optimization is a sensorless modal correction algorithm, where each Legendre polynomial is scanned by the deformable mirror to find the best shape that maximize the PSF sharpness metric.
