摘要：

High power (8 TW), ultra-short (2.4 ps), pulses have been generated using chirped pulse amplification techniques on the VULCAN Nd:glass laser. A novel oscillator was developed as a driver producing approximately 2 ps pulses at 105 nm. The oscillator output was stretched prior to amplification and compressed at an aperture of 150 mm. The contrast ratio obtained was approximately 10(6), which is suitable for laser plasma interaction studies.
