摘要

We present a four-channel prototype of a system for spatial convergence and coherent addition of tightly focused femtosecond laser beams in counter-propagating geometry. During the interference of the individual laser channels in the main focus of the system a standing laser field configuration close in its structure to the dipole focusing underlying the design of the exawatt XCELS project is realized. The prototype uses radiation from a pulsed femtosecond laser source operating at a repetition rate of about 80 MHz without additional amplification inside the laser circuit. A two-stage system for stabilizing the laser radiation direction at the input to the convergence circuit, as well as the phase stabilizing system for four beams are developed and tested.
