摘要: Based on a combined scheme of doubled chirped-pulse amplification and femtosecond noncollinear optical-parametric amplifier, high-contrast laser pulse with energy up to 32.3 J has been generated by improving the gain efficiency boosting pump 120 J in final amplifier. Our measurements show that contrast ratio main is around 1010 within time scale −400 ps duration compressed 27.9 fs, corresponding peak power 1.16 PW.
