Final EDP Ti: Sapphire Amplifiers for ELI Project

摘要

1. We demonstrated that EDPCPA with Ti: Sapphire amplifier is easiest way to reach the required parameters for ELI - pillars. (Higher efficiency, and softer requirements to pump laser, compared to OPCPA; wider spectral emission compared to Nd: glass amplifier). 2. With existing index-matched liquid absorbers and the large aperture Ti: Sapphire crystals, it is possible to approach the sub-kJ level of extracted energy by exploiting the EDP method.
