1 The 10 PW Ti-Sapphire based Lasers for the Romanian ELI NP Pillar How far are we today from its availability? Jean Paul Chambaret (ILE/ ENSTA)
2 How to compare ILE APOLLON and ELI with existing UHI lasers 1PW ~highest power laser today (Astra Gemini, Vulcan) W/cm² The most powerful installations ( TW) (Commercially available) I < W/cm² 200PW ELI The highest peak W /cm² power project 10PW Apollon (ILE) W /cm² Existing technology (validated)
3 ILE APOLLON 10P : A collaborative project between Several laboratories on the «Plateau de Saclay» ILE APOLLON Single beamline 10PW laser KHz Ti:Sa nm 500 µj synchronized Spectral broadening < nm 100 µj, khz Front End OPCPA Amplification stages LBO/BBO nm 100 mj, 1Hz Ampli 0 2J /1Hz Ampli 1 «LASERIX» 50J /0.1Hz Ampli 2 600J -1shot/mn Yb:KGW Diode pumped 300 fs, nm Amplis Yb:KGW Yb:YAG Diode pumped nm 1Hz Compression and SHG 1 à 100 ps nm 1 Hz Nd YAG 6J/1Hz Amplifiers Nd Glass 100J/0.1Hz Nd Glass 1.5KJ 1tr/mn DM2 DM1 150J / PW ϕ 200 mm ϕ 180 mm ϕ 520 mm G4 G1 ϕ 520 mm SF G3b G2 G3 Vacuum compression / spatial beam control G2b

5 MSOffice1 XPW spectral/temporal sub-5fs pulse cleaning (Collaboration with LOA-PCO group) ~600 µj >80 µj Spectra before/after XPW: Spectral cleaning with >13% overall efficiency (>20% for XPW) XPW pulse compression: Strehl ratio:73%, Main peak energy:92% 1.0 A fte r X P W (1 m m B a F 2 ~ 1 3 % ) 0.8 Intensity (a.u.) fs T im e (fs )
6 Slide 5 MSOffice1 We tried two different BaF2 crystals: 0.5 mm and 1 mm thick. Here we show that we can use 1 mm thick crystals to reach more than 13% overall efficiency (meaning after compression of the XPW pulses). However if the looses of the vacuum chamber windows, the TFP and the CM/wedges compressor are counte we reach an XPW efficiency more than 20% (25%theoretical for Gaussian pulses...). Compression of the XPW pulses has been also performed (measured with our single shot FROG just to verify that potential compressibility of such pulses...) resulted in about 5 fs pulses with much improved quality when compared to the HCF compressed pulses. This is mainly because of the spectral cleaning effec transforming the highly modulated spectrum of the HCF output to a nice Gaussian-like with about 200 nm bandwidth. We give here the temporal strehl ratio which has not improved compared to the HCF and the main peak energy content that has indeed improved (92 %!!!!). This is only due to the CM compression that is not optimized for the XPW pulses. I think the fair compression is on the main peak energy content that reveilles the clear spectral improvement., 2/19/2010

14 Bottleneck 5 : Diffractive Optical Elements as Homogenizers For large crystals, absolute need of smoothing techniques Nd:verre Pump beam Diffractive Optical Element courtesy Rutherford Appleton Laboratory SILIOS diffractive elements Implemented on Astra Gemini! Reasonable effort remains to be done for increased performances
15 ILE APOLLON 10P : Compression The Back up solution Gold Gratings : 1480 mm-1 940x750mm² LLNL grating Large dimension : 940 x 750 mm² 800 nm for broadband spectrum Limitation on damage threshold Max fluence on gratings: 0.2J/cm² D= 400mm R1 = 750 mm lamb0 = 800 nm alpha = 56 entrée beta0 = 20.8 (250 J) Sortie 10 PW (150 J, 15 fs) L = 1250mm 10pCpr_Rd02 R2 = 940 mm Using the world largest Livermore gold gratings (1480 l/mm) Extremely expensive : 4 gratings (1.1M ), long delivery (18months), need 2 expensive collimators (up and down)
16 Compression performances required for ELI High Field «20PW» beamlines If increasing the fluence on gratings from 0.2 to 1J/cm² in out Save room, and money (save 1,5 to 2M for one compressor + beam collimators)
17 Bottleneck 6: APOLLON 10P Compression gratings New approach (1) 1rst idea under investigation : Metallic /dielectric grating on High index material (Mixed) developed by O. Parriaux (Lab. H.

Force momentum mirror Prototype diameter 200mm Early stage of development! Important R&D effort must be done! No back up solution!
21 Bottleneck 8: Large optics with High Damage Threshold Broadband HR coatings Our requirements: - Broadband reflection coatings (>200nm, nm) - High fs Damage threshold : 1J/cm² for 15fs pulses - Large size optics and mirrors : 250 x 350 mm Need collaborative R&D with industrial companies expert in the field Like PGL, Okamoto, Sagem Reosc, etc Early stage of development! Important R&D effort must be done!
