Overview of PETAL, the multi-Petawatt project on the LIL facility

A multi-Petawatt high-energy laser PETAL coupled to the Ligne d’Int´ Laser (LIL) is under construction in the Aquitaine Region in France. This Petawatt laser will be dedicated to academic experiments in the fields of high energy density physics and ultra high intensity. Nd : glass laser chain coupled with the chirped pulse amplification (CPA technique allows delivery of high energy. Optical parametric CPA for pre-amplification and a new compression scheme will be implemented. PETAL is designed to deliver 3.6 kJ of energy in 500 fs on a target corresponding to 7.2 PW. The PETAL beam linked to the up to 60 kJ ns UV beams from the LIL will present new scientific research opportunities. (Some figures in this article are in colour only in the electronic version)
