Abstract
Using novel liquid cooled slab laser amplifier technology we have developed laser systems capable of amplifying nanosecond laser pulses to energy of ~1 kJ at repetition rate up to 0.1 Hz. The design and performance of these liquid cooled amplifiers at 18 cm aperture will be described along with plans to scale this technology to larger aperture and higher repetition rate.
