Abstract
We developed a beam-pointing stabilizer for a 10-TW Ti:sapphire laser system to study laser-induced ion acceleration. We confirmed the improvement in the laser beam pointing stability by using a 10-TW laser system (we call it JLITE-X) at JAERI-APRC. The original long-term pointing stability on a 10-TW laser system is ∼70 μrad without beam stabilizing. By using a beam-pointing stabilizer, the laser beam stability was improved within 10 μrad. If f/1 focusing optics and a target which is tilted 45° to the target normal is used, the fluctuation of the laser intensity at the focus will be improved from 80% without stabilizing to <0.4% with it.
