Abstract:Focusing of multiterawatt laser beams is of particular importance for superstrong field experiments. The parameters of focusing system of 30-TW Nd:glass laser facility PROGRESS-P with chirped pulse amplification and results of experimental investigations oflaser beam propagation through this system are presented. Near diffraction-limited beam quality is obtained at output laser amplifier chain by use the low-thermal phosphate Nd:glass and high quality optical elements. Output 180 mm beam is compressed to 1.5 p… Show more
