Abstract

A three-stage power amplifier is developed for an IR terawatt femtosecond laser system generating 80-fs, 1240-nm pulses with energy of up to 90 mJ, a pulse repetition rate 10 Hz, and the intensity contrast above 106. The efficiencies of different schemes of multipass amplifiers are compared. It is shown that an optical scheme with plane mirrors is optimal for achieving the terawatt power level.
