Abstract:
The progress of chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) technology
has provided great opportunities for researches on laser-matter interactions
with relativistic intensity. To date, several laser systems with peak power up
to Petawatt (PW) have been realized with different schemes in the world. For
laser-matter interaction experiments at such intense level, the contrast is
required as high as 10-10 to prevent pre-plasma dynamics. In
this presentation, we will present the recent progresses of XL-III laser
facility at Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Science. Laser power up to
1.16PW with contrast ratio reached to 10-10 was obtained.
