Recent large investments have been plan to build laser facilities for achieving intensity never reached before. The progress made in recent decade in laser technology allows us to envision laser facilities with repetition rate high enough to ensure the laser parameters stabilities and an increase of the statistic of the different measurement made in plasma physics with Laser.
High-intensity...
Since chirped pulse amplification scheme[1] has changed the game in high energy density physics, the available laser intensity has kept increasing, can reach 10^23 W/cm^2 or even higher, and can deliver radiation higher than the previously used in nuclear facilities. In order to make use of this capability in full depth, a laser-centered, distributed pan-European research infrastructure,...
The major laser sources of the Attosecond Light Pulse Source of the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI-ALPS) deliver pulses with unique parameters: unparalleled fluxes, extreme broad bandwidths and sub-cycle control of the generated fields. The high repetition rate (HR) system delivers TW peak power, < 6 fs pulses at 100 kHz. The 1 kHz repetition rate single cycle (SYLOS) system provides 20 TW...
We will introduce the 10PW laser project SULF (Shanghai Superintense Ultrafast Laser Facility), including the design of the laser facility and the potential applications of the laser facility in physics and chemistry researches.
As a first step, we have demonstrated the generation of 5.3PW, 24fs 800nm laser pulses from a CPA laser system where a high gain 150 mm Ti:sapphire amplifier with...
