Demonstration of a 1.1 petawatt laser based on a hybrid optical parametric chirped pulse amplification/mixed Nd:glass amplifier

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.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

ELI-beamlines: progress in development of next generation short-pulse laser systems

TL;DR: The first part of the L1 laser, designed to provide 200 mJ <15 fs pulses at 1 kHz repetition rate, is up and running and the L2 is a development line employing a 10 J / 10 Hz cryogenic gas-cooled pump laser which has recently been equipped with an advanced cryogenic engine as mentioned in this paper.

System for automatically aligning a rifle scope to a rifle

TL;DR: In this paper, a controller coupled to the at least one optical sensor and configured to automatically determine an alignment of the rifle scope relative to the barrel in response to determining the angular position.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

The Texas Petawatt Laser

TL;DR: The Texas Petawatt Laser as discussed by the authors is a high energy (200 J), short pulse (150 fs) petawatt-class laser that is based on hybrid, broadband optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) and mixed silicate and phosphate Nd:glass amplification.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Hybrid OPCPA/Glass 10 PW laser at 1 shot a minute

TL;DR: The 10PW OPCPA/glass laser under construction for ELI-Beamlines will exhibit output pulses delivered every minute with an energy of 1.5kJ within 150fs duration as mentioned in this paper.
