Production of picosecond, kilojoule, and petawatt laser pulses via Raman amplification of nanosecond pulses
Raman amplification in plasma has been promoted as a means of compressing picosecond optical laser pulses to femtosecond duration to explore the intensity frontier. Here we show for the first time that it can be used, with equal success, to compress laser pulses from nanosecond to picosecond duratio...
