Abstract :
A high-bandwidth pulse-shaping/distribution system employing fiber-optic and integrated-optic technology has been built and implemented on the OMEGA laser-fusion facility to deliver variously shaped, 0.1-ns to 5-ns duration, nanojoule optical pulses for amplification and frequency conversion.
