New compression concepts and pulse compression techniques for ultra high power lasers (T323)
Abstract
Improve the design of pulse stretchers and compressors for ultra-high power lasers using chirped pulse amplification. The goal is to handle the fine tuning needed for high fluence setups and to dynamically tailor the shape of the pulse to remove undesirable features. The project also aims to redesign optical components for spectral broadening and post-compression to simplify the setup, increase the broadening, and improve the quality of the compressed pulses. The objective is to tailor the characteristics of the high energy ultrashort laser pulse without altering the compressor, and to search for new optical designs for spectral broadening and post-compression. The project has the potential to make significant contributions to the field of ultra-high power lasers.
