This paper describes the integration of a short pulse optical parametric amplifier into the chirped pulse amplification beam lines of the Orion laser facility. This enables Orion to generate petawatt laser pulses at 1054 nm with a nanosecond contrast of >10(10). By combining this with frequency-doubling post compression, we can generate 100 J, 500 fs laser pulses with a nanosecond contrast calculated to be ∼10(18).
本文描述了将一个短脉冲光学参量放大器集成到猎户座激光装置的啁啾脉冲放大光束线中。这使得猎户座能够产生波长为1054nm、纳秒对比度大于10的10次方的拍瓦激光脉冲。通过将此与倍频后压缩相结合，我们可以产生能量为100J、脉宽为500fs的激光脉冲，计算得出其纳秒对比度约为10的18次方。
