Recent progress in the development of pulse compression gratings

The PETAL facility uses chirped pulse amplification (CPA) technique. This system needs large pulse compression gratings that request damage threshold better than 4 J/cm2 in normal beam at 1.053 μm for 500 fs pulses. In this paper, we will show recent grating designs with either multilayer dielectric...
