  • Abstract
    HiPER and ELI are two pan-European projects to establish large-scale laser research facilities. HiPER is dedicated to laser fusion energy research, ELI focuses the exploitation of ultra-short and ultra-intense laser pulses. Both systems will require DPSSL systems delivering ns pulses of kJ-scale energy at multi-Hz repetition rates.
