Abstract
A compact 3.6 TW/155 fs laser system based on optical parametric chirped pulse amplification is demonstrated. The system consists of a femtosecond Ti:sapphire oscillator, a pulse stretcher, a Nd:YAG/Nd:glass amplifier chain as pump laser, an OPA chain and a compressor. The pulses were amplified from 20 pJ to 900 mJ. After compression, a final output of 570 mJ/155 fs was obtained.
