“…As an example, the Extreme Light Infrastructure -Attosecond Light Pulse Source (Szeged, Hungary) is planning a high power OPCPA operating at 100 kHz with a pulse energy of 5 mJ and a duration of sub-5 fs (1 mJ and sub-7 fs is planed in a first phase). 5 A current overview of various OPCPA systems (existing and planned) is given in Fig. 1.…”

Optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) is the most promising method for providing compact, wavelength-tunable, high power, femtosecond lasers. We have recently achieved a 112 W OPCPA with wavelength-tunability around 800 nm and 30 fs pulse duration in burst mode (100 kHz in a 800 µs burst at 10 Hz). In this work, we discuss the various laser architectures and the critical parameters in achieving similar laser parameters but in continuous operation.

“…The first one, ELI-Beamlines is dedicated to the construction and characterization of secondary radiation sources, such as electrons, x-rays and protons, driven by high repetition rate ultra-intense lasers [2]. The second one, ELI-APS is dedicated to the generation and use of attosecond electromagnetic pulses [3,4]. The third pillar is ELI-Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP).…”

The development of high power lasers and the combination of such novel devices with accelerator technology has enlarged the science reach of many research fields, in particular Particle and Nuclear Physics, Astrophysics as well as societal applications in Material Science, Nuclear Energy and Medicine. The European Strategic Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) has selected a proposal based on these new premises called "ELI" for Extreme Light Infrastructure. ELI will be built as a network of three complementary pillars at the frontier of laser technologies. The ELI-NP pillar (NP for Nuclear Physics) is under construction near Bucharest (Romania) and will develop a scientific program using two 10 PW lasers and a Compton back-scattering high-brilliance and intense low-energy gamma beam, a marriage of laser and accelerator technology at the frontier of knowledge. In the present paper, the technical description of the facility, the present status of the project as well as the science, applications and future perspectives will be discussed.

“…Such OPCPAs can be used as driving amplifiers for secondary sources in the field of attosecond technology and science [11]. For example, the Extreme Light Infrastructure -Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI-ALPS) in Hungary is planning a high power OPCPA operating at a repetition rate of 100 kHz with a pulse energy of up to 5 mJ and a pulse duration of sub-5 fs (1 mJ and sub-7 fs is planned in a first phase) [12,13]. At such high average powers, however, the absorption of optical power within the crystals cannot be neglected.…”

The potential of borate crystals, BBO, LBO and BiBO, for high average power scaling of optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers is investigated. Up-to-date measurements of the absorption coefficients at 515 nm and the thermal conductivities are presented. The measured absorption coefficients are a factor of 10-100 lower than reported by the literature for BBO and LBO. For BBO, a large variation of the absorption coefficients was found between crystals from different manufacturers. The linear and nonlinear absorption coefficients at 515 nm as well as thermal conductivities were determined for the first time for BiBO. Further, different crystal cooling methods are presented. In addition, the limits to power scaling of OPCPAs are discussed.
