Abstract

As the first step in a 100 petawatt (PW) laser facility, seed pulses with high performance are important to guarantee the quality of the output laser pulse. Here we propose a novel method based on a single-stage four-wave mixing process for the generation of seed pulses with a smooth and broadband spectrum, high energy, and high temporal contrast (TC). As high as 250 μJ pulses at approximately 910 nm central wavelength with a high TC and broader than 200 nm bandwidth are obtained in a piece of transparent medium directly after a commercial Ti:sapphire amplifier. The angular dispersion of the generated seed pulse is linear to the wavelength, which can be compensated well by using angular dispersive optics, such as a prism. The extremely simple process and setup make the output seed pulses stable and reliable for 100 PW laser facilities.
