Design Blueprint: An Adaptive Optics Focus Corrector for a High-Intensity Beamline Sized by Actuator Count and Strehl Gain

Design blueprint derived from the source paper (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24155105): This paper presents a computed design for a closed-loop adaptive optics corrector using a 97-actuator deformable mirror ahead of the focusing optic of a high-intensity beamline. The sizing follows from applying the relevant intensity, thermal, nonlinear and geometric bounds at a single stated operating point, with every number produced by a deposited computation. The headline result is an incoming aberration of 0.30 waves rms collapsing the Strehl ratio to 0.0286, correction to 0.07 waves rms restoring a Strehl ratio of 0.82, and therefore a focal intensity gain of about 29 at unchanged pulse Status: DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. All numbers are simulated values from the source paper's computation, deposited with this blueprint as compute.py and results.json.
