Abstract

The first terawatt picosecond CO₂ laser, PITER I, is under commissioning at the Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility. PITER I consists of a single-mode TEA oscillator, semiconductor optical switch, and two stages of the multi-atmosphere amplifiers. We report on design, simulation, and tests of the 10 atm final amplifier that allows multi-terawatt peak power extraction in a picosecond laser pulse.
