Proceedings ArticleDOI
Wave front correction and second harmonic generation of a CPA terawatt laser chain
TL;DR: In this article, the wave front correction, high aperture parabola and second harmonic generation are combined to obtain a high-contrast beam with a high focused intensity for laser-matter interaction experiments, especially those involving solid targets.

Proceedings ArticleDOI
Nonlinear compression of ultra-high-power laser pulses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the Compression after Compressor Approach (CafCA) to increase the spectrum of powerful laser pulses after grating compressor and correct spectral phase with help of reflected dispersion devices (chirped mirrors in particular).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Relativistic optics in the lambda-cubed regime and applications to attosecond physics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a path to the efficient generation of strong attosecond electromagnetic pulses and dense electron bunches in the regime of tightly focused ultrashort pulses by focusing few-cycle laser pulses to a diffraction limited spot.
