> PETAL characteristicsLast modification on Thursday 13 August 2009
The LIL currently operates with a quad. Each beam delivers 25 kJ in the infrared and 9.5 kJ in the ultraviolet. Octalil (2 quads) might issue nanosecond pulses of 60 kJ in the ultraviolet.
 The petawatt beam will be coupled with one then two quads, and focused to reach an intensity of 1021 W / cm ². The specification also provides a power contrast ratio above 107 to 7 ps before the peak pulse and an energy contrast ratio of the front pulse (Full width at half maximum of the stretched pulse) over 103 of the energy contained into the main pulse.
The specifications of the PETAL laser facility are described in the following document, written by S.Hulin, G. Thiell, D. Rafestin & N. Blanchot (december 2008) : Support to the definition of new diagnostics for the 2012-2014 LIL-PETAL facility. |
