Unique OPCPA based laser system, providing 5 terawatts of output power at 1 kHz repetition rate has been produced by Ekspla and Light Conversion consortium. Sylos 1 named system is generating 10 fs or shorter pulses and was designed and built for Extreme Light Infrastructure – Attosecond Light Pulse Source facilities (ELI-ALPS) located in Szeged, Hungary
Ultra-high intensity laser applications span a number of scientific disciplines, such as plasma physics and fusion research, atomic molecular & optical physics, femtosecond chemistry, astrophysics, high energy physics, materials science, biology, and medicine.
Areas where a strong impact is possible include:
- High harmonic generation and attosecond science
- Relativistic effects in interactions with atoms, molecules and electrons
- Ultrafast X-ray science
- High density science
- Fusion energy research
- Particle accelerators
- Thomson scattering
