Hybrid compressor design for a 10PW laser

摘要

The ELI beamlines facility will house a 10PW laser with ultrashort pulse duration. The laser damage threshold of the coatings limits the minimum size of the last compression grating. Due to production restrictions, the last grating has to be tiled. This design was produced in order to minimize the total number of gratings in the compressor together with the spatial requirements.
