Abstract

The VULCAN high power laser system is an eight beam Nd:glass (1.053 μm) system capable of delivering pulse lengths of 300 ps - 10 ns and energies of 250 J per beam (at 1 ns) on six 108 mm diameter beams and 500 J per beam (at 1 ns) on two 150 mm diameter backlighter beams. Furthermore VULCAN in high power mode is capable of single pulse powers in excess of 35 TW in pulses as short as 700 fs using the chirped pulse amplification (CPA)1 technique. CPA avoids the non-linear effects of propagating an ultrashort pulse through the amplifier glass by stretching the pulse prior to amplification.

VULCAN:多功能超高功率钕玻璃激光系统
VULCAN高功率激光系统是一个八束Nd:玻璃(1.053 μm)系统,能够在六个直径为108毫米的光束上提供300 ps - 10 ns的脉冲长度和每束250 J (1 ns)的能量,在两个直径为150毫米的背光光束上提供每束500 J (1 ns)的能量。此外,VULCAN在高功率模式下,使用啁啾脉冲放大(CPA)1技术,在短至700 fs的脉冲中,单脉冲功率超过35 TW。CPA通过在放大前拉伸脉冲,避免了超短脉冲通过放大玻璃传播的非线性效应。
