چکیده
We have developed a compact flash-lamp-pumped Cr:LiSrAlF(6) (Cr:LiSAF) laser system capable of producing peak powers in excess of 1 TW. Chirped-pulse amplification in a Cr:LiSAF regenerative amplifier produces 8-mJ pulses at a 5-Hz repetition rate. Further amplification in Cr:LiSAF yields recompressed pulse energies of 150 mJ and a pulse duration <135 fs at a 0.5-Hz repetition rate.

Carrier-envelope-phase stabilized terawatt class laser at 1 kHz with a wavelength tunable option.
We demonstrate a chirped-pulse-amplified Ti:Sapphire laser system operating at 1 kHz, with 20 mJ pulse energy, 26 femtosecond pulse duration (0.77 terawatt), and excellent long term carrier-envelope-phase (CEP) stability. A new vibrational damping technique is implemented to significantly reduce vibrational noise on both the laser stretcher and compressor, thus enabling a single-shot CEP noise ...
متن کاملTwo-color terawatt laser system for high-intensity laser-plasma experiments
We report a two-color terawatt laser system for use in controlling laser-plasma instabilities. The system includes a commercial 45 TW Ti:Sapphire laser system at 800 nm, temporally synchronized with a 1 TW CPA Raman-Ti:Sapphire hybrid laser centered at 873nm that we designed and built to complement the 800 nm system. The two-color system will be used to seed, enhance, suppress, or otherwise con...
متن کاملAdvanced Ultrafast Laser Concepts at the Tens of Terawatt Level
The Laser Plasma Laboratory’s multi-terawatt femtosecond laser (MTFL) will be undergoing a laser upgrade in the upcoming months. The current chirped pulse amplification system will be upgraded from 25 mJ to 500 mJ. Amplification processes at high intensities such as these introduce the problem of gain narrowing. Fastlite’s DAZZLER (an AOPDF) was used to shape the laser pulse before amplificatio...
متن کاملGeneration of 160-ps terawatt-power CO(2) laser pulses.
We have developed a three-stage CO(2) master-oscillator-amplifier system that produces 1.1 TW of peak power. The system generates 170 J of energy in a diffraction-limited 160+/-10ps pulse on the 10P(20) line. We also report the realization of a two-wavelength terawatt-peak-power CO(2) laser that can be tuned to an arbitrary pair of lines. A two-stage semiconductor switching system driven by a p...
