Abstract
OMEGA EP (Extended Performance) is a petawatt-class
addition to the existing 30-kJ,
60-beam OMEGA Laser Facility at the University of Rochester. When completed,
it will consist of four beamlines, each capable of producing up to 6.5 kJ at
351 nm in a 1 to 10 ns pulse. Two of the beamlines will produce up to 2.6 kJ
in a pulse-width range of 1 to 100 ps at 1053 nm using chirped-pulse
amplification (CPA). This paper reviews both the OMEGA EP performance
objectives and the enabling technologies required to meet these goals.
