“…Recently we have developed the 30 TW PROGRESS-P picosecond laser facility based on the similar amplifier chain as PROGRESS facility [5,6]. It is planned to synchronize the both facilities laser pulses for simultaneously interaction them with targets and use of short pulse for backlighting purposes.…”

The design and performance of front end system for the upgrade six-channel Nd:glass laser facility PROGRESS are presented. The system consists of a single-mode Q-switch Nd:YLF master oscillator, pulse shaping system and preamplifier. The pulse shaping system comprises a LiTaO3 electrooptic deflector pair driven by high-voltage generators on drift step recovery diodes. The system produces the shaped laser pulses in 1-10 nanosecond duration range. In one-pass preamplifier including a sequence of Nd:glass rod amplifiers with output aperture of 30mm the shaped pulses are amplified up to 5 J energy level.

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 ps using two holographic gratings with dimensions 420x210 mm, injected in target chamber through the LiF-window with low nonlinear refractive index coefficient and focused to targets by means developed fYi . 1 onaxis parabolic mirror with focal length of 200 mm. Over 50% energy is obtained in 6-7 pm focal spot in target chamber for low power beam. Determination ofthe focal spot dimensions for 10 TW beam from X-ray plasma image show that microspot diameter not exceeds 7 .tm.
