Thermal lensing measurements in diode-pumped Yb-doped
GdCOB, YCOB, YSO, YAG and KGW
S. Chenais, F. Druon, F. Balembois, G. Lucas-Leclin, Y. Fichot, P. Georges, R. Gaume, B. Viana, G.P. Aka, D. Vivien
A Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor was used to measure thermal lensing in diode-end-pumped Yb-doped GdCOB, YCOB, YSO, YAG, and KGW crystals, under lasing or nonlasing conditions. Measured thermal lenses are aberration-free, and their focal lengths under lasing action range from 40 to 140 mm for 5 W of absorbed power. When laser action was inhibited the thermal lens dioptric power was increased significantly in most crystals, supplying evidence that nonradiative mechanisms exist. Reduction of thermal effects in a composite YCOB crystal is also investigated, as well as the dependence of thermal lensing on the emission wavelength in YSO. |

Generation and characterization
of the highest intensity lasers
S.-W. Bahk, P. Rousseau, T. A. Planchon, V. Chvykov, G. Kalintchenko, A. Maksimchuk, G. A. Mourou, and V. Yanovsky
We generated a record peak intensity of0.7 x 1022 W fcm2 by focusing a 45-TW laser beam with an f/0.6 off-axis paraboloid. The aberrations of the paraboloid and the low-energy reference laser beam were measured and corrected, and a focal spot size of 0.8 pm was achieved. It is shown that the peak intensity can be increased to 1.0 x 1022'V'lf cm2 by correction of the wave front of a 45-TW beam relative to the reference beam. The phase and amplitude measurement provides for an efficient full characterization of the focal fieid.

Design and characterization of a near-diffraction-limited femtosecond 100-TW 10-Hz high-intensity laser system.
M. Pittman, S. Ferré, J.P. Rousseau, L. Notebaert, J.P. Chambaret, G. Cheriaux
We present the design and characterization of a femtosecond high-intensity laser system emitting a neardiffraction-limited beam. This system was dimensioned in order to reach intensities in excess of 10²° W/cm² at a high repetition rate for ultrahigh-field physics experiments. We describe the improvements that were added to a conventional chirp pulse amplification configuration in order to decrease the deleterious effects of gain narrowing, gain shifting, thermal focusing in the amplifier stages, and spatial degradation due tomultipass amplification processes. |
