Abstract

We recently demonstrated the production of over a petawatt of peak power in the Nova/Petawatt Laser Facility, generating >500 J in 430 fs. The Petawatt Laser Project was initiated to develop the capability to test the fast ignitor concept¹ for inertial confinement fusion (ICF), and to provide a unique capability in high energy density physics. The laser was designed to produce near kJ pulses with a pulse duration adjustable between 0.5 and 100 ps and a focused irradiance in excess of 10²¹ W/cm².
