OCTAL, a new neodymium glass laser built in the 'Centre d'Etudes de Limeil' for laser fusion experiments

Description

OCTAL is an eight beams neodymium silicate glass laser working in the 2 TW and 1 kJ region with pulse durations ranging from 30 ps to a few ns. It has been built for implosion experiments with D.T. filled microspheres targets of typically 100 μm in diameter. High flux spatial flters and new technology rod amplifiers insure a good beam quality. Routine performances are 1.6 TW in 250 ps at the exit of the 90 mm diameter rod amplifiers, which corresponds to 1.3 TW focusable on target
