An improvement of laser-focused peak intensity has been achieved in a JAERI 100-TW Ti:sapphire chirped-pulse amplifier chain with a feedback controlled adaptive optics system operating at a 10 Hz repetition rate. The Strehl ratio was enhanced to 0.8 by means of a Bimorph deformable mirror with a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. Measurements of optical parameters of the laser pulse and an experimental tunneling ionization yield of helium have practically confirmed focusing to ultra-relativistic intensities of over 10$$^{20}$$ W/cm$$^{2}$$ within 16 % accuracy.
