Nonlinear pulse compression of a 200 mJ and 1 kW ultrafast thin-disk amplifier

Y Pfaff, G Barbiero, M Rampp, S Klingebiel, J Brons… - Optics express, 2023 - opg.optica.org
We present a high-energy laser source consisting of an ultrafast thin-disk amplifier followed
by a nonlinear compression stage. At a repetition rate of 5 kHz, the drive laser provides a …

Nonlinear pulse compression of a thin-disk amplifier and contrast enhancement via nonlinear ellipse rotation
