Abstract
Increased performance of high-power laser- diodes, decline in laser-diode-power cost, development of new lasing materials, progress on key optical components, and novel pulse-compression techniques enable the design of efficient petawatt-class amplifiers based on diode- pumped chirped-pulse amplification technology.
