The nonlinear process of cross polarized wave (XPW) generation, which has been broadly used for temporal contrast enhancement and spectral broadening [1, 2], continue to attract interest in different application schemes. A feature of space-time focusing (STF), which occurs at the focus of spatially dispersed beam, is to deliver highly localized intensity at the focus without incurring high non-linear...
Special considerations of operating the dual beam facility Gemini are presented. Amplifiers in Astra have been upgraded to improve the contrast, stability and performance with wedged Ti:Sapphire crystals and spatial filtering.
We present the progress that has been made in developing 10PW capability for the Vulcan laser. These pulses will have focused intensities >1023 Wcm-2, which represents orders of magnitude increases in intensity currently available. This will be achieved by generating pulses with energies greater than 300J and with durations less than 30fs using the technique of optical parametric chirped pulse...
In this paper we describe the development of a novel front-end capable of generating pulses with >100nm bandwidth at 910nm, a pulse duration <30fs and energies at the joule level. This system has been developed as a seed source for the development of a 10PW facility for the Vulcan laser. The development is based on large scale OPCPA with the goal of producing pulses with focused intensities...
