A 10-kJ PW laser (LFEX) is under construction for the FIREX-I program. This paper reports a design overview of LFEX, the technological development of a large-aperture arrayed amplifier with modified four-pass architecture, wavefront correction, a large-aperture Faraday rotator with a superconducting magnet, a new pulse compressor arrangement, and focus control.
