Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008006863A1] The invention relates to a spectral spreading and control device for high peak power pulse lasers, which does not limit the extraction yield for amplifiers in the CPA amplifier in which the above is included. The invention is characterised in comprising an acousto-optical device for dispersing light pulses with programmable spectral amplitude arranged in a multi-pass amplifier (12).
