We report on the High-Power Laser System (HPLS) performance of the Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) during the commissioning and the beam delivery. The HPLS uses a hybrid CPA – OPCPA (Optical Parametric CPA) architecture and has two arms enabling it to deliver 2 beams with 10 PW laser pulses at a repetition rate of 1 shot per minute. In addition, it provides two outputs at 100TW and two outputs at 1PW peak power levels. A detailed description of the HPLS is presented in the reference [1, 2].
Funding. Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) Phase II, is a project co-financed by the Romanian Government and the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund and the Competitiveness Operational Programme (1/07.07.2016, COP, ID 1334). This work was supported by the contract sponsored by the Ministry of Research and Innovation Nulceu Program.
