High-power amplification of picosecond pulses in KrF excimer amplifiers

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Recent experiments at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory have concentrated on characterizing the properties of the large-aperture e-beam- pumped KrF amplifier SPRITE1 for amplifying picosecond pulses to multijoule levels.2 The system has generated energies up to 2.5 J in 5 ps, which corresponds to peak powers of 0.5 TW. The background amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) levels were <0.5 J in a pulse length of >10 ns.
