Abstract

In this paper we describe the progress of energy scaling cryogenic gas-cooled Yb:YAG amplifier technology from a 10 J, 10 Hz prototype to delivering 100 J pulses at 1 Hz. The architecture of the prototype system (DiPOLE) is presented, highlighting the key design characteristics that enable energy scaling, along with the improvements that have allowed development of a 100J-level system (DiPOLE100).
