摘要
This paper presents the ideal spatio-temporal pulse structure that is required to produce exawatt-scale pulses based on simultaneous chirped beam and chirped pulse amplification in a Nd:Mixed-glass laser system. It is shown, that a 100 fs Fourier transform-limited pulse is created from a 20 ns duration stretched beam-pulse after propagating through an appropriate six-grating compressor arrangement. Quantitative results, from a ray-tracing model of the six -grating compressor, provide the detailed spatio-spectral and spatio-temporal pulse distributions of the stretched pulse along with the higher-order phase distortions compensated by this pulse compression scheme.(c) 2023 Optica Publishing Group under the terms of the Optica Open Access Publishing Agreement
