Abstract

The production of hot, high density plasmas has been one of the many proposed uses of high intensity ultrashort pulse laser systems since their development began with the introduction of Chirped Pulse Amplification1 (CPA). Because many of these systems are now capable of producing peak irradiance in excess of 1018 W/cm2, extremely high pulse fidelity is needed to prevent the temporal wings of the pulse from preionizing a solid target, thus producing a relatively long scale length plasma2.
