Hybrid multi-terawatt laser system of visible spectral range

The design and characterization of a THL-100 multi-terawatt hybrid laser system based on a Start-480M titaniumsapphire starting complex and photochemical XeF(C-A) amplifier with a 25-cm aperture are described. The first experiments results are presented. A laser beam peak power of 14 TW at 475 nm wavelength has been attained.
