WG 7 - High brightness power sources: from Laser Technology to beam drivers Laura Corner | Knut Michel
Laser Engineering 01 Front-end improvements 02 Pump laser performance 03 Compressor thermal management 04 Studies for power scaling Laura Corner | Knut Michel September 20, 2019 2 |
Front-end improvements OPCPA Mario Galletti: new Vulcan OPCPA front end Timo Eichner: stable OPCPA front end @ LUX Laura Corner | Knut Michel September 20, 2019 3 |
Pump-laser performance >100Hz green DPSSL Christophe Simon-Boisson: High average power laser drivers for particle acceleration Laura Corner | Knut Michel September 20, 2019 4 |
Compressor thermal management Investigations of compressor distortions present at low average power Timo Eichner: Heat induced deformation of compressor gratings Christopher Thornton: Measurement of compressor distortions on TW class laser Laura Corner | Knut Michel September 20, 2019 5 |
Studies for power scaling EuPRAXIA / Fibre combining LA Laura Corner: High efficiency combination of unequal fibre amplifiers Leo Gizzi: Challenges in LPA laser design Laura Corner | Knut Michel September 20, 2019 6 |
Conclusion Achievements Great to see intense work on full integration of lasers into becoming accelerators drivers Improvements in diagnostics, stability, long term performance We can see solutions for the near term based on a mature and understood technology: Ti:Sapp 100Hz in sight but definitely still needs intense investments and research & development Challenges What about the further future? What s the solution for >15 years time? Institutional laser research still needed into medium/long term solutions, also customization of new commercial solutions Laser not the only issue major challenges in heat management, optics damage threshold, targetry, diagnostics Are Ti:Sapp based systems the solution? If not, what is? What are vital parameter? We encourage the (European) community for diverse ideas! Discussion about it should start today! Laura Corner | Knut Michel September 20, 2019 7 |
