Design, optimization and development of pulse compression gratings for the MPW-HE LIL

چکیده
The french Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA) develops a multipetawatt laser in the Laser Integration Line (LIL), prototype of the future Megajoule Laser [1]. This Petawatt laser line will deliver impulsions of 7.2 PW, 500 fs at the wavelength of 1053 nm. The chirped pulse amplification (CPA) method is used [2]. We work on the modelization and the fabrication of gratings used in the CPA scheme. Since damage threshold of more than 3 J/cm2 @ 500fs are needed, we retained multidielectric gratings (MLD) instead of classical gold gratings. These gratings, developed in mid 90’s, consist in a multidielectric mirror stack with its top layer engraved with a grating structure. We have been working to optimize the groove geometry of the MLD grating to minimize the E field maximum in the structure. An innovative design using a mixed metal/dielectric mirror stack was also studied. The scope of this paper is to present our main numerical results in these different domains.

In this paper, the preferred region of design parameters for quasi-normalized equations of single-axis attitude control of rigid spacecraft using pulse-width pulse-frequency modulator (PWPFM) is presented for rest-to-rest maneuvers. Using the quasi-normalized equations for attitude control reduces the system parameters, that is, the moment of inertia, the filter gain, and the maximum torque of ...
