High-power laser systems for driving and probing high energy density physics experiments

This thesis describes the construction of a hybrid OPCPA and Nd:Glass based laser system to provide advanced diagnostic capabilities for the MAGPIE pulsed power facility at Imperial College London. The laser system (named Cerberus) is designed to provide one short pulse 500 fs beam for proton probin...
