Abstract

The Laboratory for Intense Lasers (L²I) facility is equipped with a multi-Terawatt Ti:sapphire-Nd:glass chirped pulse amplification laser system delivering 2.8 TW pulses at 1053 nm. Here we present the laser configuration and characterize its current performance, and describe the diagnostics and methods used for this characterization.
