Tiled Titanium Sapphire Laser Amplification to Go Beyond the 10 Petawatt Limit to 40 PW or More
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6J1DC)
Coherently tiled titanium:sapphire laser amplification provides a relatively easy and inexpensive way to surpass the current 10-petawatt limit. By adding a 2*2 coherently tiled titanium:sapphire high-energy laser amplifier in China's SULF or EU's ELI-NP, the current 10-petawatt can be further increased to 40-petawatt and the focused peak intensity can be increased by nearly 10 times ...
