Abstract
We demonstrate, to our knowledge, the first operation of a simultaneous spatial combining and CPSA system that provides 9mJ from two amplifier channels and coherently stacks 81 pulses to a single pulse and compresses the output to ~515fs duration. This demonstrates that CPSA with spatial coherent combining enables energy scaling of ultrashort pulses with fewer parallel channels. Future work will involve increasing energy per channel, average power per channel, the number of fiber channels and reducing the pulse duration.
