Ultra-Intense, High Spatio-Temporal Quality Petawatt-Class Laser System and Applications

This paper reviews techniques for improving the temporal contrast and spatial beam quality in an ultra-intense laser system that is based on chirped-pulse amplification (CPA). We describe the design, performance, and characterization of our laser system, which has the potential for achieving a peak...
