摘要
In this paper, improved operation of a high-contrast, high-brightness ultraviolet laser system is described. The laser system is based on a conventional short-pulse dye/excimer design, modified to contain 3 KrF excimer short-pulse amplifiers and the recently developed nonlinear Fourier-filtering stage for contrast improvement. The final amplifier accepts a beam size of similar to 4x4 cm(2), producing 100 mJ energy of short-pulses using a two-beam interferometric multiplexing setup. Temporal measurements of the output showed positively chirped pulses of similar to 700 fs duration, beside a focusability of similar to 2 times the diffraction limit. Amplified spontaneous emission-as the only source of the temporal background- results in a focused intensity contrast of >10(12) in the entire temporal window. These unique parameters give access to laser-matter interaction experiments above 10(19) W/cm(2 )intensity at 248 nm.
