Abstract

We have developed and demonstrated a 1 Hz repetition rate, 1 jam, 1 ps, terawatt, chirped pulse amplification(CPA) laser system has been demonstrated using a flashlamp-pumped, Nd:glass, zig-zag slab amplifier. This system has been installed at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center as part of the E-144 experiment to study nonlinear QED.1 The laser will be used for collisions with 50 GeV electrons. In addition to demonstrating the laser energy, pulse width, and repetition rate, we have measured the jitter of the laser pulse with respect to the linac RF to be less than 5 ps and have observed Compton scattering during the laser interaction with the electrons. The laser is focused to less than twice diffraction limited and the laser output has been frequency doubled. The laser system and the optical transport lines will be described in this talk.
