Abstract

A 120 TW/36 fs laser system based on Ti:sapphire chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) has been successfully established in our lab. The final four pass Ti:sapphire amplifier pumped by an energetic single-shot Nd:YAG—Nd:glass laser was designed and optimized. With 24 J/8 ns pump energy at 532 nm, 300 mJ/220 ps chirped pulse was amplified to 5.98 J in this amplifier, and a total saturated gain of ∼20 was achieved. The focused intensity of compressed beam could reach to 1020 W/cm2 with the M2M2 of ∼2.0.
