摘要:
The invention concerns a method for producing ultrashort and ultrahigh peak power laser pulses and a system for putting into practice this method. The production of ultrashort and ultrahigh peak power laser pulses is implemented by amplifying and compressing relatively long and low energy laser pulses to such ultra short and ultrahigh peak power pulses, and the use of the plasma compression technique for producing ultrashort and ultrahigh peak power pulses having a duration in the range of 20 femtoseconds (fs) or less and an energy of at least 10 Kilojoule (kJ), wherein a pump pulse (PP) in the order of picoseconds (ps) and a seed pulse (SS) are applied to the plasma cell (PLC), which are synchronized with one another and adapted to the plasma cell.
