Abstract
A hybrid tabletop (2 m × 3 m) terawatt chirped-pulse amplification Ti:sapphire-Nd:glass laser (1054 nm, 475 fs, 500 mJ, 9 × 1017 W cm-2) has been developed for laser-matter experiments. An overall gain factor of 1010 was achieved for the laser. The results of laser applications in the studies of soft-x-ray Ni-like Mo 18.9-nm lasing and of harmonic generation from solid surfaces are presented.
