  1. 571. High average power laser technologies for LPA-based FELs
    Christophe SIMON-BOISSON (THALES OPTRONIQUE SAS)

    PS3: Laser technology
    Oral contribution

    In this paper, we present the state of the art laser technologies suitable for laser plasma accelerators as well as the roadmap to achieve average power scaling to the level required for future LPA-based FEL, in particular the flagship project of EuPRAXIA laser-driven machine.
    We will present performance of operational performance of already operating 10 TW – 100 Hz laser systems using...

  2. 713. Next-Generation High-Repetition-Rate Lasers for Laser–Plasma Accelerators and Secondary Sources
    Antoine Courjaud

    PS3: Laser technology
    Oral contribution

    Laser–plasma accelerators (LPAs) are emerging as compact drivers for science and industry, yet their exploitation critically depends on the availability of high-repetition-rate, high-energy laser systems.
    Amplitude has pioneered this field with a 10TW 100 Hz Ti:Sapphire system installed already in 2013 at LP3 laboratory. This unique laser drives a table-top high brightness X-ray plasma...

  3. 550. First Electron Beams from the High-Average-Power Laser-Plasma Accelerator KALDERA

    PS3: Laser technology
    Oral contribution

    Laser-plasma acceleration (LPA) is a promising technology for future compact accelerators. However, the low repetition rate (typically few Hz) of today’s high-power laser systems prevents reaching the average power required by applications and hinders the implementation of fast feedback systems to mitigate beam instabilities. To this end, DESY has established a dedicated research program on...

  4. 536. BEETLE: Laser plasma acceleration using a post-compressed industrial Yb-laser system with 1kW average power
    Timo Eichner (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY)

    PS3: Laser technology
    Oral contribution

    Increasing the repetition rate of >100 MeV laser plasma accelerators to the kilohertz range is critical for many real-world applications. However, this requires drive lasers with pulse durations of tens of femtoseconds, pulse energies of hundreds of millijoules, and thus average power in the kilowatt range. Achieving this is challenging, especially with the Ti:sapphire technology widely used...

  5. 560. Laser Stability Lessons Learned at ATLAS-3000
    Johannes Zirkelbach
    22/09/2025, 17:40
    PS3: Laser technology
    Oral contribution

    Laser-driven plasma-based particle acceleration has achieved impressive results over the last decades, demonstrating a large variety of experimental schemes. These studies were possible even though the available instrumentation mostly had prototype-like character, often introducing considerable jitter and drift in the experimental results. Currently, the interest in improving the...

  6. 669. The TAF-project: Synchronized High Power Laser Experiments @ HI Jena
    Alexander Sävert (Helmholtz Institut Jena)
    25/09/2025, 17:30
    PS3: Laser technology
    Oral contribution

    A new target area is set up at the Helmholtz Institute Jena. One central aspect are combined experiments with the laser systems JETi200 and POLARIS. Additionally, a new dedicated probe laser system, JETi ONE, was installed giving the opportunity to investigate laser-plasma interactions with few-cycle laser pulse ranging from the visible to the mid infrared spectrum. To synchronize these three...

    PS3: Laser technology
    Oral contribution

    Brookhaven’s Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) offers users access to a broad array of advanced research capabilities, including an RF photocathode electron LINAC, a femtosecond Ti:Sapphire laser, and a high-peak-power long-wave infrared (LWIR) laser. These systems can be synchronized for integrated experiments or operated independently, supporting R&D in next-generation accelerator and laser...

    PS3: Laser technology
    Oral contribution

    The ARCTURUS laser laboratory at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) is undergoing a renewed phase of development, with a sharpened focus on plasma-based electron acceleration. At the heart of the facility is the ARCTURUS system, a 150 TW, multi-pulse laser capable of delivering synchronised high-power and probe pulses into a radiation-shielded experimental area. This infrastructure...
