Description
A compact table-top 20-GW 50-ps CO2 laser system is in operation for strong-field physics studies at the ATF. We propose scaling up of the picosecond CO2 laser to a terawatt peak power level to meet the requirements of advanced laser accelerators. Computer modeling shows that a relatively compact single-beam picosecond CO2 laser system with a high-pressure x-ray picosecond amplifier of a 10-cm aperture is potentially scalable to the ∼1-TW peak power level
