Claim Text:
1. A free-space lasing system for generating a laser beam, said system comprising: a power transmitting unit comprising a first retroreflector, and having an angular field of view; at least one power receiver unit comprising a second retroreflector, and remotely located relative to said power transmitting unit; a gain medium disposed between said first and second retroreflectors, in proximity to said first retroreflector of said power transmitting unit, such that said laser beam is generated between said first and second retroreflectors; an automatically adjustable adaptive optical element optically positioned between said second retroreflector and said gain medium an element for extracting energy from said laser beam, wherein said automatically adjustable adaptive optical element is configured to maintain stable resonator modes between said first and second retroreflectors, by compensating for change in resonator configuration arising from motion of said power receiver unit.
