Abstract

LULI2000 is one of the most energetic laser facilities in Europe. Since its first shot in 2003, LULI2000 has been used by world-wide plasma scientists and has made an important contribution to laser plasma physics and Inertial Confinement Fusion studies. Composed of high-energy 3-beam neodymium glass chains, it delivers pulses in the ns regime at 1053 nm with an energy level up to 2 × 1 kJ. This multibeams facility is capable of combining kJ/ns pluses with high energy sub-ps ones.
