Fiber lasers integration for LMJ

Abstract The Fibre-Injection System in the LIL–LMJ facilities makes use of a single-mode fiber based arborescent architecture. Starting from a unique single-mode oscillator, it consists of a high performance PM design which is dedicated to the generation of pulses onto a large number of synchronous outputs. The optical features to be optimised involve dynamic ranges in excess of 50 dB and the generation of 25 ns wide arbitrary waveforms at 100 ps time resolution, of which the PSD looks like a precisely controlled Bessel distribution. We analyse the complete design issues, together with the optical components which have been developed specifically. To cite this article: A. Jolly et al., C. R. Physique 7 (2006).
