Abstract :
We present the progress made in developing 10PW OPCPA facility for the Vulcan laser to produce pulses with focused intensities >1023 Wcm−2. This power level will be delivered by generating pulses with >300J in 30fs. These pulses will be delivered to two target areas: in one target area they will be combined with the existing Vulcan Petawatt beamline and a new target area will be created for high intensity interactions.
