Phase-Controlled Multi-Terawatt Femtosecond Laser (PCMTFL).

摘要

The Phase-Controlled Multi-Terawatt Femtosecond Laser (PCMTFL) is established as the major laser facility in the Townes Laser Institute at the University of Central Florida for study of high- intensity laser material interaction, laser propagation and ultrashort laser filamentation. Based on the existing laser system that was providing 35 fs pulses (25 mJ at 10 Hz and 2 mJ at 1 kHz), it consists of an important upgrade of the latter. This upgrade is being performed at the present time by the Laser Development team inside the Laser & Plasma Laboratory. This choice was led by the importance of optimizing the specifications that can be obtained with the state-of-the-art COTS lasers, optics and crystals as well as the formation of students in CPA lasers.
