Abstract

The interaction of intense radiation fields with matter is investigated using a laser system which produces focal spot intensities of greater than 10**1**7 W/cm**2. The system consists of a front end that generates 1-ps pulses at 248 nm and two KrF amplifiers, yielding near-diffraction-limited 15-mJ pulses. The picosecond gain dynamics of the second KrF amplifier are characterized via measurements of large-signal and small-signal gain and gain recovery time. The system is described in detail, and the measurement results are reported.
