Abstract

SOFIE laboratory is conceived as a test laboratory for the PALS large scale facility. In both systems the principal resources are iodine photodissocation lasers (λ=1315 nm). At present the basic task of the SOFIA laser laboratory is the preparation of the OPCPA technique and a necessary know-how getting for a future implementation of OPCPA into PALS. The pumping beam is formed by the third harmonics (438 nm) of the iodine laser. A two-stage amplifying system is designed (LBO, KDP). The signal beam is produced by 10-fs Ti:sapphire laser stretched in time to 300 ps. A single diffraction grating and a telescope of Ofner type, retroreflector, form the stretcher.
