Drive Laser ProposalsOnly Thales signed to meet all the specsThales sold high energy IR system with the DazzlerKM Labs and Femtolasers manufacture oscillatorsThales and Coherent manufacture DPSS pump lasersKM labs proposed 1KHz system Cryo cooling of the final amplifier (Coherent, KM labs, Amplitude)Nobody has experience with UV temporal shaping and can guarantee meeting UV temporal shaping specsAmplitude and KM Labs proposed R&D plan for UV temporal shapingTemporal shaping. KM Labs proposed passive optical filtering with LCD modulator, the others - DazzlerOnly Amplitude suggested diagnostics developmentThales and Coherent controls require minimum SLAC integration work

Drive Laser Vendor Selection
High potential output IR energy (80mJ system at ALLS)Manufacturer of the QCW DPSS pump laser (Jedi) Used Dazzler in several systems (but not for shaping) (ALLS).Proposed configuration can be upgraded to higher energy (up to 50mJ) by adding second Jedi pump. Cryo cooling is not needed, but can be added Aberration-free stretcher (patented). Motorized Provides programmable, multi-channel pulse synchronization unit.Short delivery time (8 months)Thales is a part of a very large French defense contractorControls system is compatible with LCLS requirements

Laser Beam Shaping Work at LLNL(March – December 2005)
Continue the Dazzler shaping studies to improve the quality and reliability of the UV pulse and to explore other shape types Design a third-harmonic, non-linear optical system with more than 10% IR to UV conversion efficiency which uniformly converts over a 10 nm bandwidth.
ModelingIntegrated model including temporal shaping and UV conversion. Optimize UV conversion efficiencyInvestigate designs which integrate shaping and conversion. In particular, the approach converting to UV with a short pulse and then stretching in the UV to the desired length
ExperimentsIR and blue shapingTest and optimization of the UV conversion. UV shaping

Laser Diagnostics Effort at LLNL(March – September 2005)
Design, build and test diagnostic systems capable of measuring the IR, blue and UV wavelength-phase correlation (waveform) of the laser beam with better than 100 fs and 0.1 nm resolution. These diagnostics need to make these measurements for pulses as long as 20 ps and should be single-shot.

Design, build and test laser diagnostics.
Test cathode launch optics with shaped pulses.
Provide (advise on) the beam steering stabilization system, which was developed by LLNL.
Support in the Drive Laser integration. Participate in the technical reviews of vendor’s work.
Support integration of shaping into the drive laser

ANL WorkUV Conversion and Spatial Shaping
Obtain reference data for conversion efficiency of second and third harmonic of IR laser light from a broadband TiS laser source
Compare these results to modeling predictions from the SNLO code
Assess the effects of shaping the incident IR transverse profile on the conversion efficiency and transverse profile of the third harmonic (UV)
Assess relay imaging of third harmonic light with a transversely shaped (non-Gaussian) profile over an extended transport distance and compare to modeling predictions from the ZEMAX code
Evaluate the performance of a reflective UV diffraction grating with respect to diffraction efficiency, anamorphic profile shaping and tilted amplitude front generation (time slew) and the UV fluence threshold for surface damage

Launch and Conditioning System Requirements
Grazing incidence at the photocathode (22.5 degrees). Requires time slew compensation
Uniform spatial shape.
Continuous adjustment of the beam diameter on the photocathode
from 0.38 to 2 mm (remotely)
Option to steer the beam on the cathode (remotely)

Launch System Layout Aspheric Refractive Beam Reshaper
Diffraction grating for time slew correction
Aperture for producing the hard edge
Two lenses imaging the aperture to the cathode
Adjustable distance between lenses for beam diameter control
Insertable telescope to change the diameter adjustment range (needed because of limited table space)
2 mirrors with variable angle on translation stages for beam steering
Beam splitter for diagnostics (virtual cathode concept)
