This project seeks to develop a high-average power, femtosecond laser system withcapabilities well-beyond what exists anywhere in the world at present.It will generate pulseswith energies of 1-4mJ,with a pulse duration of under 20fs,and at a repetition rate of 10 - 40kHz.It will also be capable of generating shaped light pulses for experiments in quantum controlof matter,optimizing EUV generation,novel high-resolution microscopies,and micro-machining.This laser will be used for a wide variety of application experiments which will bedone by the JILA group,and also involving collaborators from the University of Colorado,MIT,SUNY Stony Brook,UC Berkeley,Colorado State University,Princeton University,and WayneState University.Thus,a new,high-performance laser system will be heavily used for a widerange of optical science and engineering projects.Furthermore,the laser designs will be madeavailable to the ultrafast laser community through publications,web pages,and technologytransfer to industry.The JILA group has a very strong track record of technology transfer,bothto the scientific and engineering communities and to industry.Most importantly,this project willalso provide an excellent training ground for students in high technology areas such as laser andoptical design,fast electronics,EUV generation,novel pulse shaping technologies,andmechanical design.
