In the 2015 review paper 'Petawatt Class Lasers Worldwide'a comprehensive overview of
the current status of high-power facilities of was presented. This was largely based on facility …

The advent of chirped-pulse amplification in the 1980s and femtosecond Ti: sapphire lasers
in the 1990s enabled transformative advances in intense laser–matter interaction physics …

This review is concerned with pulse stretchers and compressors as key components of ultra-
high power laser facilities that take advantage of chirped-pulse amplification. The …

Abstract 560 TW peak power has been achieved experimentally using a Cr: forsterite master
oscillator at 1250 nm, a stretcher, three optical parametrical amplifiers based on KD* P …

The generation of power-and wavelength-scalable few optical cycle pulses remains one of
the major challenges in modern laser physics. Over the past decade, the development of …

Since the proof-of-principle demonstration of optical parametric amplifier to efficiently amplify
chirped pulses in 1992, optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) became a …

We have developed a prepulse-free short-pulse Nd: glass laser system of 0.9-PW peak
power to heat a pre-imploded high-density plasma. An optical parametric chirped …

The concept of optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification is applied to attain pulses with
energies up to 8 mJ and a bandwidth of more than 100 THz. Stretched broadband seed …

Ultrashort pulsed lasers provide uniquely detailed access to the ultrafast dynamics of
physical, chemical, and biological systems, but only a handful of wavelengths are directly …

We report on what is believed to be the first large-aperture and high-energy optical
parametric chirped pulse amplification system. The system, based on a three-stage …
