Abstract
We report the genetic algorithm-driven wavefront optimization of ultrafast Laguerre-Gaussian beams. Wavefront manipulation was performed using a deformable mirror. The results show that the intensity fluctuations along the perimeter of t he target ring-shaped profile can be reduced up to ~15%.
