Abstract
The design of very large single-aperture laser amplifiers for an angular multiplexed laser fusion system requires advances in excimer laser e-gun technology beyond existing designs. Scaling considerations dictate the use of multiple e-guns to pump a single laser; in the present case we will discuss the scaling and design features of one of the ten e-guns being developed to pump the Los Alamos Polaris Power Amplifier Module.
