Abstract
A Nd:glass laser based on a novel design delivers up to energy pulses with a quasi-flat-top spatial profile at a repetition rate. The laser output is frequency-doubled with 50% efficiency and used to pump Ti:sapphire amplifiers. The developed design is perspective for use in the currently contemplated next step in ultra-high-intensity laser development.
