Abstract :
LFEX is a high-energy PW laser aiming for an output of 10 kJ/l-10 ps. In this paper the architecture of multi-pass chirped pulse amplifier with 2x2 arrayed structure, newly designed diamond-shape pulse compressor, pulse shaping technique and other technological developments are reported.
