  1. Applications of Plasmas • High Energy Density Matter • Attophysics • High Intensity Physics Technical Support (Mechanics, Vacuum, CAD) Laser Sources Teams • Dynamics of Chemical Reactivity • Excited Biomolecules • Nanometrics Buildings • Theoretical Chemistry SPAM Atoms, Photons and Molecules Laboratory Matter under extremes conditions Laboratoire Francis Perrin Femtosecond Laser Servers SLIC

  2. SLIC Saclay Laser Interaction Center 10 years experience - 4 servers – 10 beamlines • LUCA, tunability from 10 to 800 nm SOFOCKLE : High repetition rate (KHz) UHI10: haute puissance de 10 TW • : High repetition rate Tunability Complementarity PLFA More than 90% for scientists CEA, France, Europe 60%, 20%, 20% Open Sources Reliability

  3. SFM TypeI BBO crystal SHG TypeI BBO crystal Polarisers Prisms Half wave plate Neutral densities Input beam “Solar blind” PMT Interference filter R&D in laser femtosecond temporal diagnostics 3rd order Cross Correlator Optical scheme (colinear version) Sequoia is the first commercial high dynamic range third-order femtosecond cross-correlator, an ideal tool for high precision measurements of the temporal pulse shape of femtosecond lasers.

  4. CEA/DS3 Financial and Work Plan • Synchronisation and Feedback: RF to Laser and Electron Beam • Participants: ELETTRA, CEA, CNRS (LOA, LULI, ELYSE), ENEA, INFN, MAX-Lab • Study the synchronisation issues between the master laser system, supplying the laser for the photo-injector, and another beam from the master laser system which could be used for seeding the first stage of a harmonic generation cascade, or for pump-probe user experiments at the different stages of the accelerator. • KHz tests on PLFA, studies on mechanical stability, amplifiers’ gain

  5. PLFA (Tunable Femtosecond Laser Platform) 1 KHz, 20 mJ, 30 fs pulses JADE Compressor JADE (Gain x10) JADE (527 nm, 20 W) 4.7W JADE Ti:Sa 30 fs USERS JADE Multipass Amplifier 15 fs, 70 nm Regenerative Amplifier (Gain x105) Master Oscillator 2W POCKELS 6W dazzler l/2 POCKELS ph2 VERDI (532 nm, 4 W) 9W Ti Sa POCKELS 660mW ph1 TiSa POCKELS Preamplifier (Gain x3) Stretcher

  6. CEA/DS3 Synchronization, Jitter and Drift Main Goal : Systematic Analysis How really large is the jitter in KHz laser systems ? • Averaged on different timescales • Pump Laser Stability • Mechanical stability (two amplified beams) • Air Flow dynamics • Non Linear effects in short pulse propagation • Shot to Shot • Pointing • Oscillator and Pump Laser Stability What about the drift ? • Thermal Stability

  7. t t ’ CEA/DS3 Experimental Strategy Spectral Interferometry • High Accuracy (get sub-fringe information~2 fs) • No sensitivity to pointing fluctuations • Different spectra (no contrast reduction) • Analysis of different chirps (different fringe contrast) Spatial Interferometry • Portability • High Rate Acquisition with minor cost Single Shot Cross Correlator • Two amplified arms
