30TW chirped pulse amplification using the VULCAN high power Nd:glass laser

The paper reports recent experiments using the VULCAN Nd:glass amplifier. Chirped pulse amplification has been used in solid state laser systems to avoid the power limit set by nonlinear self phase modulation and self focusing that would otherwise prevent amplification of ultrashort pulses to high p...
