Performance of and initial results from the OMEGA EP Laser System

The OMEGA EP Laser System was completed in April 2008. It consists of four NIF-like beamlines that will each produce 6.5 kJ per beam at 351 nm. Two of the beamlines can be configured as high-energy petawatt beamlines that will each produce 2.6 kJ in a 10-ps laser pulse. This paper describes the curr...

Summary:The OMEGA EP Laser System was completed in April 2008. It consists of four NIF-like beamlines that will each produce 6.5 kJ per beam at 351 nm. Two of the beamlines can be configured as high-energy petawatt beamlines that will each produce 2.6 kJ in a 10-ps laser pulse. This paper describes the current status of the OMEGA EP Laser System and some initial experimental results.
