Abstract

We report a chirped pulse amplification laser designed to produce Joule-level pulses of picosecond duration at 1 kHz repetition rate. This laser is based on cryogenically-cooled Yb:YAG active mirror amplifiers. A technique for mapping the temperature distribution within the active mirrors in 3D is discussed.
