Description
High peak power lasers are ideal drivers for compact, high-brightness particle and radiation sources.
Day-to-day application of laser-driven sources in fields such as industry, healthcare and security requires drivers operating at high pulse rates with high reliability and reproducibility.
This talk will provide an overview of current and emerging laser driver technologies and an analysis of technical opportunities and limitations. Notable laser systems and development projects will also be discussed.
