The International Coherent Amplification Network (ICAN) has discussed concepts of a novel laser system based on a massive array of fibre amplifiers for the final goal to achieve particle acceleration at highest efficiencies. The laser parameters of >10 J, <300 fs at repetition rates above 10 kHz require a fundamental new approach in order to overcome known limitations of todays Peta-Watt...
