Pulse Contrast Enhancement at the Orion Laser Facility

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Orion laser facility provides a capability for performing high energy density plasma physics experiments at AWE. The laser consists of ten long pulse (nanosecond) beam lines delivering a total of 5 kJ at 351 nm with 0.1-5 ns temporally shaped pulses and two short pulse Petawatt beam lines, each producing 500 J in 0.5 ps with intensities to target > 1021 W/cm2. The short pulse beam architecture is that of an OPCPA (optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier).
