“…Based upon the capabilities of present laser technology and the modeling results of picosecond pulse amplification already verified experimentally at the ATF, it has been shown that a relatively compact single-beam picosecond C02 system, with two amplifier stages, is potentially scalable to the terawatt peak power leve1. [25] In this paragraph we explain our approach to building such a laser.…”

“…To a great extent the present study is stimulated by the ongoing development at the ATF of a new high-power laser source, a IO-ps (with the possibility of upgrading to 3 ps) 1-TW CO, laser [25] that is expected to be operational in 1996. This device presents new opportunities as a laser accelerator driver due to its long wavelength, b10 p, few picosecond pulse duration, and terawatt peak power.…”

Extended cylindrical plasma channels produced under gas breakdown by axicon-focused laser beams may be used as optical waveguides in laser-driven electron accelerators. Plasma channeling of the laser beams will help to maintain a high acceleration gradient over many Rayleigh lengths. In addition, the rarefied gas density channel produced after the optical gas breakdown, and followed by a plasma column expansion, reduces multiple scattering of the electron beam. A high-power picosecond CO2 laser operational at the ATF and being fbrther upgraded to the 1 TW level is considered as the source for a plasma channel formation and as the laser accelerator driver. We show how various laser accelerator schemes including beat wave, wake field, and Inverse Cherenkov accelerator benefit from using a channeled short-pulse COz laser as a driver. A cknowledaments
