摘要：

We report on a compact, all-glass laser using a fiberless CPA technique as a potential system for the generation of extreme high-contrast picosecond pulses in the terawatt power range. New exciting experiments in the field of laser-matter interaction at extremely high intensities require both a high output energy and a very high peak to background intensity ratio (contrast). At present the system delivers 1.5 ps-pulses of 1.5-J energy with an intensity contrast of 4.10(9).
