Abstract:
The design of ellipsoidal plasma mirrors (EPMs) for the PEARL laser facility is presented. The EPMs achieve a magnification of 0.32 in focal spot size, and the corresponding increase in focused intensity is expected to be about 8. Designing and implementing such focusing optics for short-pulse ( & lt;100 fs) systems paves the way for their use in future high-power facilities, where they can be used to achieve intensities beyond 1023 W/cm2. A retro-imaging-based target alignment system is also described, which is used to align solid targets at the output of the ellispoidal mirrors (with a numerical aperture of 0.75 in this case).
