Abstract

A laser system that produces terawatt -level pulses of 308 -nm light with near -diffraction -limited beam quality is under development. Pulses of 175 -fs duration are generated at 616 nm in a synchronously -pumped mode -locked dye oscillator. These pulses are amplified in a three -stage dye amplifier longitudinally pumped by the frequency -doubled output of a regenerative Nd:YAG amplifier. Output of the dye amplifier is frequency -doubled in a BBO crystal and amplified in a chain of XeCI excimer stages. The optical design maintains high beam quality throughout the system.
