Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="lpor201400040-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>In this paper, a novel amplifier setup as an additional stage for the CPA pump laser of a Petawatt system is presented. In this amplifier, 20 relay‐imaged passes through an Yb:YAG active‐mirror are realized. After compression 1 TW pulses with 740 fs duration are generated at a repetition rate of 2 Hz. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2ck8xt2b" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
