“…Among them are the projects Mercury (~60 J, 10 Hz) [1], POLARIS (12 J, 0.05 Hz) [2], LUCIA (10 J, 2 Hz) [3], and DiPOLE (10 J, 1 Hz) [4]. The main motivation behind the development of these systems is to use them as a test bed for even more powerful laser systems, such as: LIFE [5], HiPER [6] and ELI [7].…”

We present comparison of two alternative layouts of a 100 J cryogenically cooled Yb:YAG multi-slab laser system operating at 10 Hz for HiLASE and ELI Beamlines projects. In the first approach, the 100 J slab amplifier consists of a preamplifier and power amplifier, while in the second approach it uses single power amplifier with two amplifier heads. These two concepts are compared, with respect to output power, B-integral, accumulated B-integral, and peak fluence. Results are obtained by simulating beam propagation in MIRÓ code and calculating stored energy in the amplifier by homemade ray-tracing MATLAB code for amplified spontaneous emission evaluation.

“…The Halna laser system at the Institute for Laser Engineering (ILE) delivered 20 J (10 Hz) with a zigzag Nd:glass slab [16] . For the Polaris laser system, 12 J (0.05 Hz) was obtained from Yb:glass at the Institute of Optics and Quantum Electronics of the Friedrich-Schiller University (IOQ, Jena, Germany) [17][18][19][20] .…”

“…These planned projects aim at delivering kilojoule nanosecond pulses with repetition rates in the 10-20 Hz regime. Several smaller systems are build to test the scaling options for these high average power lasers: in USA the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory operated the Mercury system (~60 J, 10 Hz) [5], in Japan the Institute for Laser Engineering operates the HALNA system (~20 J, 10 Hz) [6], in Germany the Institute of Optics and Quantum Electronics operates POLARIS system (12 J, 0.05 Hz) [7], in France the Laboratoire pour l'Utilisation des Lasers Intenses operates LUCIA system (10 J, 2 Hz) [8], and in United Kingdom the Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory operates DiPOLE system (6 J, 10 Hz) [9].…”

Abstract. We present a comparison of two alternative laser layouts for HiLASE and ELI Beamlines projects. The cryogenically cooled laser is 100 J class with 2 ns pulse length and operates at 10 Hz repetition rate. The laser beam is intended for industrial applications in HiLASE, for OPCPA pumping in ELI Beamlines and can serve as a test bed for large scale high repetition rate fusion lasers. First layout utilizes classical scheme with preamplifier and main amplifier, while the second layout utilizes single amplifier scheme with two amplifier heads. The comparison is based on the results obtained from homemade MATLAB code for evaluation of amplified spontaneous emission and stored energy and on a beam propagation simulated in MIRÓ code.
