Abstract
OMEGA EP is a new high-energy petawatt laser system under
construction at the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser
Energetics. This paper describes our designs for two diagnostics critical to
OMEGA EP's mission. The focal-spot diagnostic (FSD) is responsible for
characterizing the focal spot of OMEGA EP's off-axis parabolic mirror at
full energy. The ultrafast temporal diagnostic (UTD) is responsible for
characterizing pulse shapes of full-energy target shots ranging in width
from <1 to 100 ps as well as setting the desired pulse width before the
shot. These diagnostics will enable, for the first time, complete spatial
and temporal characterization of the focus of a high-energy petawatt laser
at full energy.
