Journal ArticleDOI
Second-harmonic generation in zinc tris(thiourea) sulfate
Henry O. Marcy,Leslie F. Warren,Mark S. Webb,Christopher A. Ebbers,S. Velsko,G. C. Kennedy,G. C. Catella +6 more
TL;DR: The linear and second-order nonlinear optical properties of single-crystal zinc tris(thiourea) sulfate, or ZTS, are determined and the calculated frequency conversion efficiency for ZTS is compared with that of several other well-characterized materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
L-Histidine tetrafluoroborate: a solution-grown semiorganic crystal for nonlinear frequency conversion.
Henry O. Marcy,Mark J. Rosker,Leslie F. Warren,Patricia H. Cunningham,C. A. Thomas,L. A. DeLoach,Stephan P. Velsko,Christopher A. Ebbers,J. H. Liao,Mercouri G. Kanatzidis +9 more
TL;DR: The crystal structure, refractive indices, and phase-matching conditions for a new nonlinear optical material, L-histidine tetrafluoroborate, are reported and the effective nonlinearity is comparable with that of beta-barium borate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstration of a 1.1 petawatt laser based on a hybrid optical parametric chirped pulse amplification/mixed Nd:glass amplifier
Erhard Gaul,Mikael Martinez,Joel Blakeney,A. Jochmann,Martin Ringuette,Doug Hammond,Ted Borger,Ramiro Escamilla,Skylar Douglas,W. Henderson,Gilliss Dyer,Alvin C. Erlandson,R.R. Cross,John A. Caird,Christopher A. Ebbers,Todd Ditmire +15 more
TL;DR: The design and performance of the Texas Petawatt Laser, which produces a 186 J 167 fs pulse based on the combination of optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) and mixed Nd:glass amplification, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mercury project: a high average power, gas-cooled laser for inertial fusion energy development
Andy J. Bayramian,P. Armstrong,E. Ault,Raymond J. Beach,Camille Bibeau,John A. Caird,R. Campbell,B. Chai,Jay W. Dawson,Christopher A. Ebbers,Alvin C. Erlandson,Y. Fei,Barry L. Freitas,R. Kent,Z. Liao,T. Ladran,Joseph A. Menapace,B. Molander,S.A. Payne,N. Peterson,M. Randles,Kathleen I. Schaffers,S.B. Sutton,J. Tassano,S. Telford,E. Utterback +25 more
TL;DR: The Mercury laser project as discussed by the authors developed key technologies within an architectural framework that demonstrates basic building blocks for scaling to larger multi-kilojoule systems for inertial fusion energy (IFE) applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier as an alternative to Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifiers
Igor Jovanovic,Brian J. Comaskey,Christopher A. Ebbers,Randal A. Bonner,Deanna Marie Pennington,Edward C. Morse +5 more
TL;DR: This relatively simple system replaces a more complex Ti:sapphire regenerative-amplifier-based chirped-pulse amplification system and successfully amplified 1-microm broadband oscillator pulses to 31 mJ and recompressed them to 310-fs pulse duration, at a 10-Hz repetition rate.
