Abstract
High energy titanium sapphire ultrafast amplifiers require high energy pump lasers in order to limit the number of pumping beams onto the TiSa crystal. To reach the 10 PW peak power level, the needed pumping energy is estimated to be 800 J in the green. To keep a manageable number of pumping beams, a 100 J laser has been developed. This compact high energy laser (laser head size is 1.35m × 2.5m only) called ATLAS 100 is operated at the repetition rate of 1 shot per minute while keeping a very uniform beam profile.
