Abstract

Abstract

The optimal compression of high energy, Petawatt-class lasers to their fundamental minimum focal volume, defined as the lambda-cubed regime, enables conversion into sub-femtosecond X-ray laser pulses. This is an efficient way to ascend to exawatt science and the applications for high field X-rays.

Abstract

Abstract

We review recent results on Cr and Fe doped II–VI lasers providing access to the 1.8–6 µm range with a high (>60%) efficiency, tens of Watts of output power in ultrafast regime, >150 W CW, and multi-Joule output energies in free running and gain-switched regimes.

Abstract

Abstract

Amplification schemes have been pushed to their specific limits. New concepts have to be considered to address these issues. In that context, the newest developments of coherent combination of amplified femtosecond pulses, which allows for a scaling to unprecedented performance levels, will be reviewed.

Abstract

Abstract

We report the design of electrically-pumped high-power vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers emitting at the mid-wave infrared wavelength regime. The device is designed with a monolithic configuration that can provide multiwatts of continuous-wave output power in a single transverse mode with an excellent beam quality.
