Femtosecond Terawatt Ti:sapphire Laser System Teahupoo MPA-XL
Teahupoo MPA-XL is a cost-effective terawatt Ti: sapphire amplifier system. It
gives up to 200 mJ energy of the stretched pulse and further compression with
65% efficiency. A standard air compressor can be placed into a custom designed
vacuum chamber.
