  • Abstract
    We report on our progress in the development of a high-pulse-energy Yb:YAG laser system for OPCPA pumping. We have demonstrated generation of 160-ps chirped-pulses with a spectral bandwidth of 0.12 nm and a pulse energy of a few mJ by using a Yb:YAG regenerative amplifier inserting a transmission grating pair.
