Effect of the plasma channeling
Without a preformed channel (left) the drive laser pulse blows out after a few hundred micrometers, producing diffuse bunches of electrons with wide energy spread. A preformed channel through the plasma (right) confines the drive beam and produces bunches of electrons with nearly uniform high energy.

Component Oscillator Optical Isolator Stretcher</A. < TH> Power Amplifier Spatial Filter Compressor Target Chamber Experiments Purpose Produce a low power high precision pulse which is to be further amplified in a separate power amplifier. Prevent damage from parasitic feedback from higher power stages back into lower power amplification stages. Decrease the intensity of a laser pulse by stretching it in time. Amplify a weak pulse and produce very high power pulse while maintaining the initial characteristics of the initial pulse. To remove wavefront distortions by focusing the beam through a pinhole. Increase the power of a laser pulse by compressing it in time. Provide a gas-free environment in which the laser pulse can be focused onto a target. To perform an experiment requires some form of diagnostic instrumentation to analyze results.

激光分类
• Pulsed Lasers Pulse lasers operate for very short periods usually for much less than one second. They can produce extremely high peak powers but only for a very short period of time. Many pulsed lasers have very low average powers • Continuous Lasers (CW) Continuous lasers operate continuously for periods exceeding one second. These lasers usually have a relatively high average power and are often classified as military lasers.
Plasma channeling
Laser
A plasma channel, denser toward the edges, guides the laser and allows it to form high-quality electron beams. As the laser pulse travels from left to right it excites a wake in the plasma, trapping and accelerating bunches of electrons to high energies (September 29, 2004 news of BNL)

Military Lasers Extremely high average power lasers which can be used to destroy missiles in the vulnerable launch phase.. •Gasdynamic Laser High power laser based on rapid adiabatic expansion of a high temperature gas, somewhat like the exhaust of a rocket nozzle. The first gasdynamic laser was successfully operated in 1966. •Ammonia Microware Laser Low power laser based on low energy molecular transitions. This was the first operational laser, it was constructed by Townes and Shawlow in Lasers (Chirped Pulse Amplification) Extremely short duration pulse of the order of 1 ps. These lasers are based on recent advances in pulse compression techniques and can produce irradiances exceeding 1020 W cm-2. 32sets • Long Pulse Lasers Lasers whose pulse duration is of the order of 1 ns used for inertial confinement fusion research. These are some of the older generation of high power lasers such as the NOVA at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories. 18sets
